ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Evenly holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evenly has 80 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Evenly's written reviews are positive against 50% of Payback Balance Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Evenly ships an update every 3 weeks, Payback Balance Tracker every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
