SpendBalance vs Cashpane

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.

Two taps and a spend is logged. That's the whole pitch. Open Cashpane. Tap +10. Tap Food. Done. Your dashboard shows what you've got, what you spent this month, and how much is left. That's it. — FAST The app opens straight to the amount. +5, +10, +50 chips so you almost never type a number. A haptic confirms the save. Two taps, back to life. — ON YOUR PHONE Your spending stays on your phone. No account to make, no bank login, no ads, no cloud sync. Every expense, income, and limit lives in a local database on your device — and in your iPhone backup if you keep one. The only thing Cashpane sends anywhere is anonymous crash and performance data, so we can find and fix bugs quickly. What you spent never leaves your phone. — FREE The whole app. No subscription, no "Pro" upgrade, no locked features, no ads. Free now and free later. — MADE FOR iOS Swift Charts for the spending donut. SwiftUI sheets that snap to the right detents. SF Symbols for every category.
