Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Expensense at none against Spending Tracker's shown. Expensense also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Spending Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 1) and device support (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spending Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Expensense sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Expensense holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spending Tracker has 19K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Spending Tracker ships an update every 2 months, Expensense every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
