Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Budget at 4.5 against Receipts's 2.9. My Budget also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Receipts's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
