# FlexBudget vs Allotted

The clearest difference is update cadence: Allotted at every 8 days against FlexBudget's every 7 months. Allotted also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlexBudget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Allotted sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for FlexBudget against 5.0 for Allotted. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Allotted has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FlexBudget ships an update every 7 months, Allotted every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
