# Budget vs Commingle

The clearest difference is rating: Budget at 5.0 against Commingle's 4.5. Budget also leads on ratings volume (48 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Commingle's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Budget sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Commingle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Budget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Budget has 48 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Budget ships an update every 8 days, Commingle every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
