Pave is the private expense tracker and budget planner built for people who want real control of their money — not another app that links your bank account and sells your data. Track every dollar. Build smarter habits. Watch your savings grow. Everything stays on your device — always. WHY PAVE IS DIFFERENT Most budgeting apps are cluttered, slow, and demand your banking login. Pave is the opposite: fast, private, and genuinely beautiful. No account. No cloud. No bank connection. No data selling. Just you and your money. TRACK SPENDING IN SECONDS Logging an expense or income is faster than unlocking your phone. A big, thumb-friendly keypad, one-tap categories, optional notes — done. Add your own custom categories with any icon and color. ONE CLEAR MONTHLY BUDGET See exactly how much you have left to spend this month at a glance. Set an overall budget plus per-category limits (Groceries, Transport, Eating Out, anything), and Pave tracks your pace automatically so you know if you're on track or overspending. BUDGET ALERTS Get a heads-up notification when you're nearing or passing a budget — so you adjust before the month gets away from you. RECURRING & SUBSCRIPTIONS Set rent, salary, Netflix or any repeating transaction once and Pave logs it for you. A dedicated screen shows everything you pay on repeat and your total monthly recurring cost. INSIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Beautiful, interactive charts for any period — day, week, month, year, or a custom range. See where your money goes by category, income vs. expenses over time, your biggest expense, top spending category, savings rate, and your spending pattern by day of the week. SMART SEARCH & FILTERS Find any transaction instantly. Filter your full history by date, custom range, amount, category, type, or recurring status. MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS Keep Personal, Business, Cash, or Family budgets cleanly separated — each with its own currency, budget, and transactions. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Protect everything with Face ID / Touch ID. Your financial data never leaves your iPhone. No sign-up, no tracking, no ads. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL Full backup & restore in one tap, plus CSV export for spreadsheets and tax season — and CSV import to bring your history with you. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Chinese, with full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support. PRIVACY FIRST — ALWAYS Pave works completely offline. We never collect, store, or sell your financial information. Your money is your business. Download Pave today and finally feel in control of where your money goes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pave at none against Velo's 2. Pave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). Velo's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
