All accounts in one place
Mint can handle banking accounts, saving accounts, credit cards, etc. It consolidates all your accounts together so you do not need to put work into following multiple accounts.

It does not work offline.

Top
Pro
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
Top
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.

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.
See More
Top
Pro
Can be synced with Dropbox
There is no web application but Monefy can be synced with Dropbox to keep finances updated even without a phone. This feature is pro only ($2.48).
See More
Top
Con
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.
See More

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.

Con
Report customization is complex and difficult
Setting the options for existing reports requires use of a multi-tab interface with poor usability. Creating new reports requires programming that will be beyond the abilities (or desire to spend time and effort) of many users.
See More
Top
Pro
Double entry accounting
By fully using the double entry accounting features in GnuCash, you can know (for example) not only that you spent $25 at Hugemart but that you spent $13 on groceries, $2 on disinfecting wipes, and $5 on motor oil. Later on, you can use data from that transaction and others to find out how much you're spending each month on food, home supplies, and car maintenance, along with other expense categories.

Cons

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.

Experiences
Pros

Cons

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

Clean pleasing interface
The overall design of the app is clean and simple, almost minimal. It makes the app pleasing to use due to how easily one can tell what parts of the app do what due to the clean and simple design. the use of solid colors to differentiate section of the app makes it easy to keep track of what buttons do what.
See More
Top
Con
Difficult to navigate
The interface can be confusing and expected functions of buttons are not always the case. While it can be gotten used to, it takes much time and really shouldn't in the first place.
See More
Top
Pro
Convenient local data with no need to link an account online
Many people don't like connecting their accounts to an app, especially bank accounts, luckily Wally does not require one to link their bank to the app in order to track funds. All one has to do is input their starting total and then add expenditures as they purchase them. This is an easy way to track spending while not having to give up ones data.

Limited use while offline
Whether it is due to a DRM scheme or just bad design in the app only has limited functionality when not connected to the internet. This inhibits normal use as no one has a 24/7 internet connection on a mobile device.
