Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Basic Budget+ at none against My Budget's 6. Basic Budget+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). My Budget's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
