PriceRadar helps you compare publicly listed reference prices for the same in-app plan across different App Store regions. Choose an exact app plan to see the original prices, currency conversions, data freshness and how many regions have been checked. Partial results are labelled clearly and are not presented as a confirmed worldwide lowest price. Save plans in your watchlist, optionally set target-price alerts and keep a manual ledger of recurring app expenses. Separate budgets by currency to avoid mixing amounts. Background notifications may be delayed or unavailable. Price Radar does not read your Apple purchase history or bank statements. During the initial 1.1 rollout, regional price comparisons remain free and up to three plans may be watched without Pro. Price Radar Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that removes this watchlist limit. Its price and billing period appear on Apple's purchase confirmation screen; manage or cancel it in App Store Subscriptions. Public prices are for reference only. Taxes, availability, purchase eligibility and final charges are determined by the relevant App Store checkout. We do not sell apps, gift cards or top-ups, and we do not provide account region-switching services.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Payday at free against PriceRadar's free with in-app purchases. Payday also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
