What it does
Spending Tracker logs an expense in a few taps and takes an optional budget for the week, month or year, with whatever is left carried over. The summary shows the main areas of spending, and you can step back through earlier periods. From 5 apps for when you can't say where the money went.
The developer describes it as: “Spending Tracker is the easiest and most user friendly Personal Finance App in the store.”

DimeDime is free with no paywall and no ads, built by a solo student developer. Spending broken down over any period, budgets per category, recurring expenses, and a reminder to write things in.
CashewCashew sets budgets on a monthly, weekly or your own time frame, with pie charts and bar graphs for where it went and past periods to compare against. Subscriptions and recurring payments are tracked, with reminders.
Daily Budget OriginalDaily Budget Original works out a daily budget from what is left for the month, and never connects to a bank account — the data stays on the device. The core features are free; more categories, encryption and graphs are paid.
