Compare

Balance compared with other budget apps

We make Balance, so we're not neutral. These comparisons use each app's own website or Google Play listing, show the date we checked, and say plainly where the other app is the better choice.

• OFFLINE TRACKERS

  Balance vs Monefy

  Monefy wins on iPhone support and live partner sync; Balance wins on free recurring transactions, deeper budgets and locked exchange rates.

• BOOKKEEPING

  Balance vs Money Manager (Realbyte)

  Double-entry depth and PC editing versus unlimited free accounts, automatic Drive backup and careful multi-currency.

• NO BANK LINKING

  A Mint and YNAB alternative without bank linking

  Mint is gone and YNAB is $109 a year. When a free, offline, account-free app fits better — and when YNAB still does.
