Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MoneyMobile at none against IOU's 2. MoneyMobile also leads on ratings volume (405 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). IOU's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IOU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoneyMobile has 405 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of MoneyMobile's written reviews are positive against 100% of IOU's.
