Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Expense Tracker at 90% against My Budget's 68%. Expense Tracker also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 99) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Budget sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Expense Tracker sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
