Consumii
Read full descriptionHide full description
Consumii helps you spend more mindfully. Track every purchase from the first idea to long-term reflection - and see what things really cost in hours of your life. SEE THE REAL COST Enter your hourly wage once, and Consumii shows how many hours of work each purchase costs. A price becomes something more real - and that changes how you decide. TRACK EVERY PURCHASE FROM IDEA TO OUTCOME Follow each item through its full journey: planned, purchased, sold, returned, disposed, or renounced. Add items in seconds from a product link or photo. KNOW IF IT WAS WORTH IT At 30, 90, 180, and 360 days after buying, Consumii checks in: are you still happy with it, and would you buy it again? Over time, you build a clearer picture of your best and worst spending decisions. WANT OR NEED? BE HONEST. Classify every item as a want or a need and see where your money goes by instinct versus intention. BUDGETS, ANALYTICS, AND WIDGETS Set monthly budgets overall or by category, explore clean charts and spending trends, and keep your progress visible with 15 Home Screen widgets. IMPULSE LOGGING, RECEIPTS, AND SPOTLIGHT Log impulse purchases, scan and attach receipts, and find items instantly with Spotlight search. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No servers. No tracking. No account required. Your data stays on your device, with optional iCloud sync in your private Apple account. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. Consumii is free to use, and Consumii Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the 40-item limit. All features are included in the free tier.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Consumii at every 5 days against Skei's every 3 weeks. Consumii also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
