Darker means more ・Days you didn't spend anything get a leaf ・Tap a day to see its purchases ■ No bank login. Your data stays on your iPhone ・Never share your card login or password ・Just add a shortcut and choose which apps' alerts to read ・Your spending data is never sent to a server ■ Works with any card alert ・For a new alert format, tap the amount and merchant once to create a rule ・Alerts in the same format are recorded automatically after that ■ Know where it all goes ・Switch between categories, merchants, and cards ・Monthly budget, what's left, and a daily allowance ・Month-by-month trend chart ■ Also ・Hide merchant names and amounts when sharing screenshots ・Backup and CSV export * Uses Shortcuts automations triggered by notifications, available in iOS 27.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AdGuard DNS at none against Lazy Ledger's shown. AdGuard DNS also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.4 vs 27.0). Lazy Ledger's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
