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 price: Wally at Free against Maple Budget's $0.99. Wally also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ads (none vs shown). Maple Budget's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.1). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Wally is free to download; Maple Budget costs $0.99 up front. Maple Budget sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Wally sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wally holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. 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 complicate that: 80% of Maple Budget's written reviews are positive against 42% of Wally's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Maple Budget ships an update every 11 days, Wally weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
