Rilio logs your spending for you. Pay with Apple Pay and the expense is saved before you put your phone away, with the amount, merchant and category already filled in. Bank SMS alerts are picked up the same way. A notification on your Lock Screen confirms each one, and a single tap fixes anything you want to change. No bank login. No spreadsheets. No end-of-month catch-up. LOGGED AUTOMATICALLY • Apple Pay: every tap is logged the moment you pay • Bank SMS alerts from supported banks are read and saved for you • One payment, one transaction: a tap and its matching bank alert never double up • Refund alerts are matched to the original purchase • One-time setup with Apple Shortcuts, guided step by step in the app OR JUST SAY IT • Type or speak "12 for lunch at Chipotle" and AI fills in the amount, merchant and category • Double-tap the back of your iPhone to log an expense without opening the app • Import a bank statement PDF to bring in your past transactions KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES • Income, spending and savings rate for the month at a glance • A forecast of where the month will land • Daily spending, biggest purchases, top categories and weekend habits • Ask Rilio anything, like "How much did I spend on food this month?" • A monthly recap you can share STAY ON BUDGET • Set limits by category and see what's on track and what's close • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for this month's spending and budgets SPLIT WITH FRIENDS • Groups for trips, roommates and dinners, with invites by link • See who owes what and settle up in a tap YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL • Rilio never asks for your bank password • Only messages that match your payment keywords are sent to Rilio • Delete your account and data from Settings at any time SUBSCRIPTION Rilio requires a Rilio Pro subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rilio at none against BillNote's shown. BillNote's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
