ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FP Budget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkbook Wiz has 815 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Checkbook Wiz's written reviews are positive against 67% of FP Budget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Checkbook Wiz ships an update every 3 months, FP Budget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
