Wally keeps your budget on your phone. There's no bank login and nothing to sync. Tell it when you get paid and how much, and your balance moves on payday without you touching it. Add the accounts you actually use, checking or savings or cash, set the opening balance once, and Wally keeps it current as you log what you spend. Put your monthly bills in with their due dates and it reminds you before they land. Spending goes into categories you make yourself. Three questions and the category exists; the fiddly settings are there when you want them and out of the way when you don't. The charts show what came in against what went out, and how fast a budget is running down rather than only how much is left. Pay with your phone and Wally can pick the purchase up on its own, ready for you to check or already filed. If you share money with someone, a household budget puts the same categories in front of both of you. There's an assistant built in that reads your own numbers and answers questions about them: How much can I save this month? Where am I overspending? What should I cut first? You can lock the whole app behind Face ID. Wally speaks English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BudgetBrain at 100% against Wally's 42%. BudgetBrain also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Wally's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 3). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wally sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. BudgetBrain asks for nothing beyond the download.
BudgetBrain holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wally has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of BudgetBrain's written reviews are positive against 42% of Wally's.
