# My Budget vs BudgetPlnr

The clearest difference is rating: BudgetPlnr at 5.0 against My Budget's 4.5. BudgetPlnr also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). My Budget's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 36%) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Budget sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and BudgetPlnr sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BudgetPlnr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Budget has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of My Budget's written reviews are positive against 36% of BudgetPlnr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
