About

PayCycle

Features

PayCycle helps you see whether the income from each payday can cover the bills due before the next payday. Add your expected salary and recurring or one-time payments. PayCycle organizes them into payday cycles and shows: • Expected income, registered payments, and the projected difference • A calendar with salary, extra income and payment titles on each date • Current-cycle breakdowns and the balance trend across cycles • One-off income, such as a bonus, in any cycle • An end for recurring payments, such as a loan or instalments • Reminders for upcoming payments and items awaiting confirmation Confirm the actual amount and date after a payment is made. You can also adjust an estimate for one cycle without changing future estimates. PayCycle stores your planning data on this device. Turn on iCloud sync in Settings (it starts off) to keep it in sync across your iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud account, which the developer cannot access. You can also export it to a file and import it again. PayCycle does not connect to banks or credit card accounts and does not read transactions automatically. The free version shows a banner ad. A one-time in-app purchase removes ads. Purchases can be restored, and eligible Apple offer codes can be redeemed from Settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: スマートポリス at none against PayCycle's 1. スマートポリス also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.5). PayCycle's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
