Log what you spend. See where it goes. Stay on budget. Budget Planner is a private, offline expense tracker: you enter your own spending, and the app keeps it organized, categorized, and easy to review. No bank login. No signup. Your entries stay on this device โ only your messages to the assistant and a short summary of your own totals are sent, once you agree, to an AI service (Google Gemini, or our backup provider Agnes AI) to be answered. TRACK YOUR SPENDING - Log an expense in seconds and tag it to your own category - Add notes so you remember what a charge actually was - Browse a clean history by day, week, or month - Choose your display currency from 32 options STAY ON BUDGET - Set a monthly limit for each category - Get a gentle heads-up at 80% and 100% of a limit - Watch your remaining balance for the month at a glance - Optional daily reminder and weekly summary BILLS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS - Keep every recurring bill, subscription, and paycheck in one list - See your total monthly subscription cost in one number - Spot which subscriptions are billing soon SAVINGS GOALS AND JARS - Create goals for a trip, a laptop, a rainy-day cushion - Track progress visually and celebrate the milestones - Split money into purpose-based jars, the classic envelope method - Log round-ups on your purchases to nudge small amounts into a goal - Take on optional savings challenges when you want a push THE BIGGER PICTURE - Debt planner with an estimated payoff date; snowball or avalanche strategy with Premium - Net worth view: what you own against what you owe (trend chart: Premium) - Weekly and monthly charts with a category-by-category breakdown - Daily check-in and a streak, for people who like keeping the chain going YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE - Everything you enter is stored locally, and tracking works fully offline - Back up to your own iCloud when you want a copy (Premium) - Export everything to CSV for a spreadsheet (Premium) - No account, no sign-up, no bank connection ON YOUR HOME SCREEN - An iOS widget puts your goal progress in front of you without opening the app - Light and dark themes ASK ABOUT YOUR OWN NUMBERS - A built-in assistant answers questions about the spending you have logged and explains general budgeting ideas in plain language. With your permission, your question, recent chat messages and a short summary of your own totals are sent to Google's Gemini service โ or, if it is unavailable, to our backup provider, Agnes AI โ to be answered. Once a month it can also write a short summary of your budget from a questionnaire (Deep Assessment); your answers are sent the same way. It is a writing and explanation helper, not an advisor. Budget Planner does not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and it does not connect to any bank or move any money. It is a personal organization and productivity tool for keeping track of your own spending.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: X at none against Budget Planner's 4. X also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Budget Planner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
