What you can do today Overview — See savings vs expenses at a glance and how your envelopes fit together. Envelopes — Create categories that match your bills and goals; pin what matters most. Income & activity — Log money in and out so balances stay truthful to your envelope rules. Transfers — Shift funds between envelopes without losing track. iCloud — Keep your budget available across your signed-in devices. Reminders — Optional nudges for check-ins, recaps, and milestones (you control these in Settings). Early access This release is early access: we’re shipping core budgeting flows first and will keep improving stability, polish, and features based on real use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hourly at none against Campus Cash's 1. Hourly also leads on ads (none vs shown). Campus Cash's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
