Trada is your trà đá stall in your pocket: pull up a chair, jot a few lines, get on with your day. One account, several small apps, and more still brewing. SPENDING & BUDGETS Jot an expense into the cashbook in 3 seconds. Its own đồng keypad — big digits, no decimal key, because the đồng has no small change. The whole month fits in one glass. Your budget is how much the glass holds, every expense pours in a little more, and going over spills it. You can see where you stand without reading a number. A debt book — who owes you, who you owe, names and all. Shared jars — a common pot with family or friends, where everyone sees what goes in and what comes out. Group budgets, a spending calendar, monthly reports, and categories your way: add your own, hide the defaults, change icons, and reorder them into the order you jot in. INVESTING & ASSETS The asset shelf — crypto, stocks and gold on one glass shelf. Prices refresh each time you open it, with an intraday chart. Every holding is a jar on the shelf, and how wide the jar sits is how much of the shelf it takes — you can see where you're heavy without reading a table. A trade ledger that records every buy and sell, with profit and loss worked out for you. CLUBS A class fund, a football team's kitty, a reunion pot - open a club, set each round's amount, and the ring shows who has chipped in and who still owes. No chasing anyone. The treasurer writes the fund's own income and spending into the books, and every member can see which rounds they've paid. Share a period's report with a link - the person you send it to doesn't need the app. LUNAR CALENDAR A sheet for every morning, torn off the way the block calendar on the stall's pillar is. The solar day large, the lunar date and the can chi beneath it, and whether the day is hoàng đạo or hắc đạo — said in words, not left to a coloured dot. The day's six lucky hours, with the one you are in right now already marked. The whole month on a page: lunar dates under solar ones, rằm and mùng 1, and the festivals called by name. Convert either way, leap months included — the thing most likely to go wrong when you are looking up a giỗ. Find a good day for a wedding, an opening, breaking ground, a journey, a house move or signing something. Every day it offers says why it qualifies instead of asking to be believed. Save your date of birth in Settings and the days that clash with your sign drop out on their own. It works with no signal too, and nothing advertises at you in the middle of it. IT STILL WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL In a lift, in a basement car park, on the metro - the cashbook still opens, you can still jot, this month and last month are still there, and clubs you've opened still read. What you write waits on the phone and sends itself the moment you're back online. Force-quit the app and nothing is lost. MADE YOURS Light or dark. Vietnamese or English. Your timezone, your currency. Choose which apps sit on your home screen. Notifications only when something actually needs you: someone asking you to confirm a debt, an invitation to a shared jar, a club opening a new round, or a contribution waiting for you to confirm it. You choose which apps may notify you, and how. PLAINLY SAID Trada shows no ads today. Trada does not sell what you write down. Deleting your account is something you do yourself, in Settings, without asking anyone. Free to start. Privacy policy: https://tradavn.net/legal/privacy Terms of use: https://tradavn.net/legal/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TradaVN at none against Hey Monkey's 2. Hey Monkey's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
