# Spending Tracker vs Weekly

The clearest difference is ads: Weekly at none against Spending Tracker's shown. Weekly also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). Spending Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 83%) and ratings volume (19K vs 3.8K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spending Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Weekly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Spending Tracker against 4.8 for Weekly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spending Tracker has 19K ratings behind it against 3.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of Spending Tracker's written reviews are positive against 83% of Weekly's.

Spending Tracker ships an update every 2 months, Weekly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
