Both are free to download. Budget planner by Bottomline sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Budget planner by Bottomline'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.
Budget planner by Bottomline ships an update every 10 days, Budget Builder Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
