Verdict

The call

Spending Tracker and EveryDollar both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Spending Tracker's written reviews are positive against 55% of EveryDollar's. Spending Tracker also leads on device support (5 vs 3). EveryDollar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
