Wallop requires a subscription. Start with a 7-day free trial, then £7.99/month or £59.99/year. Meet Wallop - the budgeting app where you actually stick to your budget. Wallop is your pig. He's chubby, a little dramatic, and he takes your spending personally. Budget well and he thrives. Blow it on a fourth coffee and he doesn't. It sounds ridiculous. It works. Wallop is a subscription app. Every feature described below requires an active subscription, available after a free trial. Full pricing and terms are at the bottom of this page. HOW IT WORKS Forget one big scary "budget" number. Wallop splits your money into Stashes - Coffee, Eating Out, Shopping, whatever matters to you. Each Stash has its own little pig mood, its own health bar, its own reason to care. Log a purchase in two taps. Watch your pig react. See exactly which Stash is hurting before it becomes a problem. STASHES Your money, organised the way you actually think about it. Not "I have £400 left this month" - "I have £40 left for eating out, and three more days until payday." PAYDAY, REIMAGINED When you get paid, Wallop doesn't just reset - he celebrates. Watch your Stashes refill, watch your pig come back to life, and start the cycle knowing exactly where every pound is going. GOALS THAT FEEL CLOSE Save toward something real - a holiday, a new phone, an emergency fund. Add money manually, or let Wallop automatically roll your leftover cash toward whatever you're saving for next. NET WORTH, TRACKED HONESTLY See your full financial picture - savings, investments, debts - all in one place. No bank connection required. Just you, your numbers, and a pig who's rooting for you. WHY MANUAL LOGGING (NOT BANK SYNC)? Because the moment you tap "log this purchase" is the moment you actually think about whether you should. Automatic tracking lets you forget. Wallop doesn't let you forget. BUDGETING THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A SPREADSHEET No guilt-tripping push notifications from a faceless app. Just a pig who's a little too invested in your financial decisions - and somehow, that's exactly what makes it work.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Expense Tracker at freemium against Wallop's subscription. Expense Tracker also leads on chart position (#192 vs unranked). Wallop's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
