Managing money as a couple should bring you closer โ€” not start arguments at the dinner table. We Budget is a shared expense tracker built for two. Whether you are splitting rent, tracking groceries, saving for a vacation, or figuring out who paid last, We Budget gives both partners a live view of your finances โ€” without the spreadsheets, the mental math, or the awkward conversations. โ€” Track every shared expense together โ€” Log a purchase in seconds. Your partner sees it instantly. Your shared dashboard updates in real time so you are always on the same page, wherever you both are. โ€” Split bills the fair way โ€” Choose a straight 50/50 split, divide expenses proportionally based on your incomes, or set a fully custom percentage. Because fair does not always mean equal โ€” and We Budget gets that. โ€” Always know who owes what โ€” Your running balance is always visible the moment you open the app. No guessing, no end-of-month surprises, no awkward "I thought you paid for that" moments. โ€” Save for what matters most โ€” Set shared savings goals for the things you both want โ€” a trip, a new home, an emergency fund. Track progress together and watch it grow. โ€” Get a monthly financial picture โ€” See where your money went each month, which categories you overspent in, and how your couple finance health is trending. Insights that help you make better decisions together. โ€” Built for couples, not individuals โ€” Most expense and budget apps are designed for one person with a share button added on. We Budget is built from the ground up for two โ€” the pairing flow, the split logic, the notifications, and the reporting are all designed around a shared financial life. Whether you have just moved in together, are planning a future, or have been managing finances as a team for years, We Budget fits where you are. โ€” Your privacy matters โ€” Your financial data is private to your couple only. We do not sell your information or share it with anyone outside your partnership. Download We Budget and set up your shared dashboard in under two minutes.

About

WeBudget

WeBudget is an expense tracker that does the typing for you. Share a bank message, an email receipt or a screenshot into WeBudget and it becomes a transaction โ€” the amount, the merchant, the account and a category it works out for itself. Screenshots are read on your device. You confirm it, and that is the whole loop. Nothing is ever saved behind your back. Every capture waits in a review queue until you say yes, and correcting one teaches WeBudget the merchant for next time. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข Share text or a screenshot from any app and have it logged for you โ€ข Budgets per category, with a warning before you go over โ€” not after โ€ข Charts that answer a question: where it went, what changed, what this month is on pace to cost โ€ข Multiple accounts and currencies โ€ข Import from a WeBudget backup or from Money Manager โ€ข Export everything, whenever you like โ€ข Face ID or PIN lock, and a covered screen in the app switcher โ€ข Full support for English, French, Spanish and Arabic YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE The ledger lives on your device. There is no account to create and nothing is uploaded unless you turn on cloud backup โ€” and if you do, records are encrypted on the phone with a key our servers never hold. We cannot read your transactions. Neither can anyone who breaks into our database. That is a real trade-off and we would rather say it plainly: if you forget your recovery passphrase, your cloud copy cannot be recovered by us or by anyone. The app explains this before it lets you switch sync on. WHAT IS FREE, AND WHAT IS NOT Free, with ads, forever: adding transactions by hand, unlimited transactions, every chart, every budget, local backup, import and export. Your own data is never held behind a paywall. WeBudget Plus is a subscription. It removes the ads, turns on automatic capture, and adds the encrypted cloud copy across your devices. Both plans start with a free trial. ABOUT THE ADS The free tier carries ads, and they stay out of the way: never inside your transactions, balances or review queue, and never on the screens where you add money or manage your account. No transaction, amount, merchant or balance is ever used to target an ad โ€” not one. You can also watch a short video for two hours without ads, or subscribe and see none at all.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: We Budget at none against WeBudget's shown. We Budget also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. We Budget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WeBudget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
