Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: yuBudget at 5.0 against Spending 2's 3.9. yuBudget also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.1 vs 15.6). Spending 2's advantage is ratings volume (61 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spending 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. yuBudget asks for nothing beyond the download.
yuBudget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spending 2 has 61 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Spending 2's written reviews are positive against 60% of yuBudget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spending 2 ships an update fortnightly, yuBudget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
