Track the items, keep the memories. Most things you buy vanish into order history. This app turns them into a collection you can actually see — what you own, what it cost, and whether it was worth it. AI IMPORT Drop in an order screenshot. Name, price and purchase date are recognized automatically — no typing, no forms. COST PER DAY Every item shows its price divided by days owned. The longer you use something, the cheaper it gets. See at a glance what's truly worth it. ASSET STATS In use, retired, or sold — your belongings are assets. Track your total at a glance. TIMELINE Every purchase on the record. Sold something? It gets settled too: net cost, days used, cost per day. SHELF WALL Items are cut out automatically and pinned to your wall like stickers. Everything you've bought deserves a spot.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Payday at free against mythings's free with in-app purchases. mythings's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
