Rill

Rill is a calm, private budgeting companion that helps you understand your spending without turning money management into another complicated job. Build a budget around the dates that match your real life, not just the first and last day of a calendar month. Add a separate weekly budget when you want a shorter spending limit, then see how much you have spent, what remains, and how today's spending compares with your plan. Rill helps you: • Create flexible budgets with your own start and end dates • Set category allocations and see spending against each one • Add independent weekly budgets alongside your main budget • Record expenses quickly in your chosen base currency • Enter expenses in other currencies using monthly exchange rates you control • Review activity by date range, category, and currency • Compare spending with clear trend and category charts • Reorder and personalise categories • Export expenses as CSV or create a complete JSON backup • Keep automatic recovery snapshots in a Files folder you choose • Set an optional on-device reminder to log spending Private by design Rill has no bank connection, advertising, analytics SDK, or developer-operated account. Your financial records remain on your device. If you enable automatic backup, Rill writes backup files only to the Files folder you select, such as your private iCloud Drive. The developer cannot access those files. Budget clearly. Spend calmly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rill at none against Owe's 1. Rill also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
