ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ExpenseApp ※ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DailyCost - Expense Tracker has 166 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of DailyCost - Expense Tracker's written reviews are positive against 25% of ExpenseApp ※'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DailyCost - Expense Tracker ships an update fortnightly, ExpenseApp ※ every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
