Dollarbird ranks second in the rating. This app can be easily linked to separate accounts, and it allows users to enter payment data manually as well as get detailed bills.

8. Cost Track

In analyzing these user requirements, Artezio’s Analytical Department considered how convenient each app was for the users. Eugene Rozin, Lead Business Analyst at Artezio, believes data collection is still a problem that developers need to solve: “Despite serious competition from developers in this segment, users still don’t have a convenient tool that would allow them to automatically track their income and expenses without having to assiduously enter required data.”
All of the personal finance trackers in the study were evaluated against 11 criteria, including mobile platforms supported, cost, additional expenses (in-app purchases), budgeting, ability to link several accounts and monitor credit ratings, suspicious transaction reporting, and an expense calendar. Among the most popular functions were automatic monitoring of credit payments, centralized data collection of transaction history, and simplified data entry.
