SpendLens helps you see exactly where every dirham, dollar, and euro goes β without connecting your bank or creating an account. Track daily spending, automatically capture transactions from your bank's SMS alerts, and spot trends with a private, beautiful expense tracker built for your iPhone. Most people underestimate their daily spending by 30%. SpendLens closes that gap. TRACK EVERY EXPENSE IN SECONDS Add expenses with a single tap on the floating action button. Pick a category from the grid, enter the amount, optionally add a note. Done in under three seconds. AUTO-CAPTURE FROM YOUR BANK'S SMS β FREE When your bank texts you a transaction alert, SpendLens can turn it into an expense for you. Set it up once with a simple Shortcuts automation, and new transactions land in your Inbox to review and approve in a tap β no bank login, no account linking. Free for everyone. SCAN RECEIPTS WITH ON-DEVICE AI Snap a photo of any receipt and SpendLens uses Apple's Vision framework to extract the amount, date, and merchant β completely on-device. The image never leaves your phone. SEE THE TRENDS Compare this month to last. Spot which categories are growing or shrinking. Daily spending charts reveal patterns you didn't know existed. 55+ CURRENCIES SUPPORTED Travel, expat life, mixed currencies β no problem. Track expenses in any currency and SpendLens converts everything to your home currency automatically. Original amounts are always preserved. WIDGETS FOR EVERY MOMENT See today's spending right on your home screen. Five widget variants included: small (free), medium and large (Pro), plus circular and rectangular lock screen widgets (Pro). EXPORT YOUR DATA Export expenses as CSV for spreadsheets, or as beautifully formatted PDF reports for taxes and reimbursements. Your data, your way. SIRI SHORTCUTS Add expenses by voice. Ask Siri "How much did I spend today?" and get an instant answer. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No bank linking. No ads. No third-party trackers or analytics SDKs. Everything you enter stays on your device, with optional iCloud sync across your Apple devices. The one feature that uses the cloud β Smart Parsing, which powers bank-SMS auto-capture β is opt-in, off by default, and never stores or sells your data. You're always in control. SpendLens Pro unlocks unlimited categories, receipt scanning, spending trends, all widgets, CSV & PDF export, custom app icons, and Siri Shortcuts β for a one-time purchase. No subscription. Ever. (Auto-capture from your bank's SMS is free for everyone.) Made with care in Abu Dhabi.

Verdict
SpendLens and SpendLens are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters β price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them β neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
