Impulse Bye helps you practice spending intentionally, not impulsively. Instead of getting your dopamine from hitting that “Buy Now” button, get it from adding an item to your list, seeing your total saved go up, and throwing a little (digital) confetti in the air. Track the money you didn't spend on impulse buys and celebrate every dollar you save. ~ Key features Remember why you want to spend intentionally, not impulsively • see how much you resisted spending and delight in it going up over time • set a customizable banner to inspire you to save Add things to your Impulse Bye list, instead of buying them • add an item: its name, cost, and how badly you want it • answer 3 questions to help you overcome the urge to buy it right now • tag your items for simple categorization Take a moment to enjoy being in control of your cash • watch your total savings go up after you add an item • change the level of celebration to your liking Browse your list later, after the impulse has passed • search and filter through your items by want level, tags, and status • update items if you decide to buy them later or change your mind completely ~ Subscription options Start with a free trial of adding 33 items, then choose between a quarterly or annual subscription. Our trial is based on how many items you add, so you can take your time deciding if Impulse Bye is right for you. $7 for 3 months $20 for 1 year ~ App links Website: https://impulsebye.app Terms of Use: https://impulsebye.app/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://www.impulsebye.app/privacy-policy

Quarterly estimated taxes are the #1 anxiety point for freelancers — and missing a deadline means penalties. QuarterlyOwed is the mobile-first way to know what you owe and never miss a quarter. KNOW WHAT YOU OWE Log your income and expenses and QuarterlyOwed estimates your self-employment tax, federal income tax, and state tax in real time, using standard published formulas and the 2025 brackets and standard deduction. EVERY QUARTER, TRACKED - All four federal quarterly deadlines, adjusted for weekends - A suggested amount for each quarter - Track what you've paid and see if you're behind the pace - One tap to IRS Direct Pay DEDUCTIONS THAT FIT YOU - Editable QBI deduction rate, excluded income, and other deductions - Set the numbers to match current law and your situation QUARTERLYOWED PRO - Full self-employment + income + state tax breakdown - All-quarter payment tracking and history - CPA-ready CSV + PDF year-end export - Removes ads PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. QuarterlyOwed never connects to a bank and never asks for a login. Free users can preview Pro by watching a short ad. QuarterlyOwed shows non-personalized ads only and never tracks you. IMPORTANT: QuarterlyOwed produces ESTIMATES from the figures you enter and standard formulas. It is not tax advice and is not affiliated with the IRS. Tax law, deduction eligibility, and state rules are complex and change. Always confirm your numbers and deadlines with a qualified tax professional or at IRS.gov before you pay.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Impulse Bye at none against QuarterlyOwed's shown. Impulse Bye also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
