Name everyone who still owes you money. Go. The trip you paid for. The friend you covered. Some of it is in chats. Some is in screenshots. Some is just in your head. A few weeks later, you're searching through it all to work out who still owes what. CreditCat keeps it in one place. Record who owes you, how much, and when. Check your list anytime, then mark an entry as paid once you've received the money. Each person gets a cat. While the money is outstanding, their cat waits by an empty bowl. The longer the wait, the hungrier it gets. Keep the records to yourself, or send someone their cat when you want to bring it up. They don't need the app. The link opens a page showing what they still owe and a cat waiting to be fed. When it's hard to find the words, let the cat say it. RECORD, CHECK, MARK AS PAID • Record who owes you, how much, and when it happened • See who hasn't paid and how much is still outstanding • Share a link when you choose to • Once you've received the full amount, mark the entry as paid. The cat gets fed CreditCat never contacts anyone on its own. You decide whether to share and when. It doesn't split bills, process payments, or provide financial advice. Sign in with Apple, or continue as a guest. FREE Unlimited records. Unlimited sharing. The shared page uses a fixed line: “The cat guards its empty bowl, N days.” CREDITCAT PRO The words on the shared page change as time passes—from waiting beside the empty bowl to licking its bottom. The longer the wait, the harder it is for the cat to hide its hunger. NT$30/month; prices vary by region. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CreditCat at none against Pendo Note's 3. CreditCat also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). Pendo Note's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
