BusimyExpense tracker apps: an honest comparison
A good expense tracker lets you record in seconds, groups by category and shows where the money went each month. Monefy and Money Manager are simple and fast; Wallet and Spendee add budgets and accounts; YNAB is a complete, paid method; Busimy adds shared expenses and several currencies.

| Spendee | Free with a paid tier | Shared wallets | Several features are paid |

Which one fits you
- You want to start now: a simple one like Monefy.
- You want strict budgets and like a method: YNAB.
- You live with someone and share costs: Busimy or Spendee.
- You earn or save in more than one currency: Busimy.
What matters most: that you keep using it
The best app is the one you still open in month three. So how fast you can record (voice, a photo of the receipt, imports) matters more than how many charts it has.
