# Track Spending vs Budget Builder Pro

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Track Spending at 3K against Budget Builder Pro's 9. Track Spending also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Budget Builder Pro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Track Spending sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Budget Builder Pro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Budget Builder Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Track Spending has 3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Track Spending's written reviews are positive against 69% of Budget Builder Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Track Spending ships an update every 11 days, Budget Builder Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
