SpendBalance
Read full descriptionHide full description
SpendBalance shows you where your money goes, without the setup. Add a purchase in two taps. Set rent, subscriptions and allowances once and they track themselves — daily, weekly or monthly — so you only log what you actually choose to spend. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, nothing collected. WHAT YOU GET - Two-tap entry — log a purchase in seconds - Recurring transactions — set repeating income and expenses once and let them run daily, weekly or monthly - Four dashboard widgets — month's overview, balance trend, budget situation and spending split - 38 categories in groups like Campus Life, Food & Social and Personal Wellbeing — pick the 7 that matter to you - Day, week, month and year views - 66 currencies - Custom colours and a dashboard you arrange yourself - Dark mode, following your system setting HOW IT WORKS SpendBalance doesn't connect to your bank. You enter what you spend, which takes a couple of seconds — and means the app works with any bank in any country, and that your financial data never leaves your device. Recurring items handle the predictable spending on their own. Start in under a minute. No sign-up screen, nothing to connect.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpendBalance at none against TapSheet's 4. TapSheet's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
