Ability to pay bills all from one place
This application gains more than the read only access of most finance tracking applications with the ability to pay bills right from the application. This may be a security concern for some people but the ability to pay bills all from one place is extremely convenient if your financial institution supports it.

Top
Con
Delay before bill is paid
Check takes two day to process the bill payment before it is paid. Check should help you stay on top of your bills so that you pay them early but if you don't you can make an express payment that pays in about 24 hours. Although the express payment costs $7 so it is best not to procrastinate.

Pro
Calendar view for bills
The calendar view is a fantastic feature to overview all incoming bills due dates and plan the month.

Top
Con
Financial coaching features are not very useful
The visuals and analytics in Check are not as useful as they are in applications such as Mint. There is no way to set up a budget and there are not many ways to better optimize your spending. Check is best at what it was designed to do from the beginning: bill paying.

Pro
Free to use and pay bills without advertisements
It is free to pay bills with Check if paying from a bank account or debit card. Credit cards add a 4% service fee. If an express bill payment is needed, the cost is $7.

Con
Poor web-support
There is almost zero support on the website. There are no details to guide through sync process. Other apps allow simple sign-in sync, but this needs a 3rd party Dropbox. It's over complex for what it is.

Budget information must be inputted manually
Transactions are added in the form of notes; first the amount is added, and then the category. It is a quick process but it can become tedious, especially if multiple transactions have been missed.

Pro
Free without advertisements
Monefy is free without advertisements but there are some features reserved for Pro ($2.48) users such as: password protection, Dropbox Sync, adding new categories, and changing icons. Fortunately these features are not completely necessary.

The website is as clear as mud
The language is so vague there is little app help, nor is it clear what you can or cannot do with either the Pro or free version.

Top
Pro
Ability to add manual transactions
Money Lover is not connected to the users bank accounts. By not being connected that means users have to manually input (at least once) their recurring transactions or singular transactions..
See More
Top
Con
No budget for all wallets
You can't set one budget to all wallets. For example: if you have 9 wallets in your family, then you need to have 9 budgets for food, 9 budgets for clothes and so on.
See More
Top
Pro
Useful graphs and charts
Money Lover offers the normal pie chart of your spending and also bar graphs to help you identify trends in your net income.
See More
Top
Con
Difficult to update debt
There is no guideline for updating debt. Every debt goes to the wallet including Mortgage Bond. When updating the opening balance of (for example) the Mortgage Bond, it appears in the bank balance as part of the total positive balance.
See More
Top
Pro
Option to add details with each transaction
Similar applications to Money Lover only offer a few details to add when inputting a new transaction but Money Lover offers a lot more besides the normal category and title. Money Lover allows you to add notes, contacts, a picture, location, and reminders.

Pro
No connections to your banking accounts or investments
Money Lover is completely independent of your financial institution. This is great for those that are worried about sharing their bank account details but of course this is less convenient.
See More
Top
Con
Basic app is free but with advertisements
The free version of Money Lover includes small banner advertisements at the bottom of the application. They aren't too intrusive but they can be annoying. Removing the advertisements is a $2.00 in app purchase. Getting the whole Money Lover experience requires an upgrade from the basic application to the premium application without advertisements and the ability to have more than one wallet, a budget plan, and an event plan for a $4.99 in app purchase.

Organizes budget into categories
Mint splits your spending into different categories, such as gas or fast food, so you can see where you're spending too much money or how much you need to budget for.
See More

Con
Unsafe
With very few exceptions, Mint isn't just syncing your data over, but is using your username and password to log directly into the bank website. Banks will not reimburse for any fraud or stolen funds that may result from this, or may use Mint as an excuse to not reimburse for charges or stolen funds that occur from other causes.
See More
Top
Pro
Alerts
Mint can be set to alert you to various events such as upcoming bills, or low balances on any accounts. It can be set to alert you from the app, through email or by text message. In addition you can sign up to recieve monthly emails about your money and ways to improve your budget.

Free trials available
YNAB lets you try it's software free for just over a month. This gives you a bit of flexibility when doing a monthly budget - 4 extra days to review your budget and determine whether YNAB helped out enough to justify the $5 price. If you're a student, you can get an additional 12 months for free (for a total of 13 months) and after that you can get 10% off yearly subscriptions.

Frequent updates.
The YNAB team does a great job of offering rapid response times to support requests, listening to user feedback and implementing commonly requested features into the app via frequent updates as well providing live financial workshops on a daily basis at no additional charge.

Understands human beings and reality
It allows you to move around budget allocations. Sometimes you just need to spend that extra money in one category and take it out of another budget without losing control of the overall budget. It's flexible, clever and understands life.
