PayTrack
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pay Track answers one question, and answers it well: what do I owe, and when? Not a budget app. Not an expense tracker. No bank login, no receipts to photograph, no spending charts telling you what you already spent. Pay Track looks forward — at the rent, the subscriptions, the car installments, the school fees — so nothing lands on you by surprise. SEE THE YEAR AHEAD Twelve months at a glance, so you know which months are heavy before they arrive. Tap any month to see exactly what falls in it. Quick cards show what's due in the next 30 and 90 days, so a quarterly installment never slips past a quiet month. EVERY KIND OF PAYMENT • One-time — a bill, an invoice, a single due date • Recurring — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or yearly • Installments — a plan with its own amount and date per installment, including uneven schedules A progress ring shows how much of a plan you've actually paid by amount, not just how many payments you've ticked off. YOUR HOME SCREEN, WITHOUT OPENING THE APP A widget in three sizes, with countdowns that advance on their own each day. Small leads with your next payment; medium and large show upcoming payments. Dark mode included. REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE ON TIME Choose same day, one day, or three days before. Set them per payment or let the default handle it. STAY ORGANIZED • Categories with your own emoji and colours • History grouped by month, quarter or year, each with its own total • Export what's coming as PDF or CSV • Attach a receipt to any payment • Available in English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Turkish PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your payments sync across your devices through your private iCloud account. No account or sign-up is required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Masareef at none against PayTrack's 4. Masareef also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18). PayTrack's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
