The mobile not only helps us to pay with Google Pay and similar apps, but also to keep a strict expense control and, in this way, help us save money. There are dozens of applications in this segment on the Google Play Store. But we have made a selection of the best finance apps that you can download for your smartphone, so that you have it much easier.
The best applications for cost control
If you want to control your expenses, and your income, and start saving, these apps are really useful. With them you can see where your money is going each month, and check where you could save some money. With a simple and intuitive interface, and all kinds of summaries, graphs and statistics that will help you understand all the information.
Control expenses
In a simple and visually attractive way you can control your income, your expenses and your balance. And that each one goes to its corresponding category, and is perfectly placed on the calendar, to keep an exhaustive control of your personal finances. The operation of the app is simple, but we have dozens of options. We can also add annotations to the expenses, and a miniature image of the product or service in which we have spent the money.
Money manager, expense tracker
Where is the money going? This application records your income and expenses, with highly visual graphs and statistics. Its interface is more minimalist than the previous option. Even so, it also has all kinds of categories to detail the information. And what this application stands out especially is in the summaries and informative graphics for each month of the year.
Accounting record
Although with a somewhat more complex interface, Accounting Registry is a brilliant tool to control our expenses in relation to income. With a detailed calendar, notes for each activity, thumbnail images of products and tickets and all kinds of graphics. An essential application for any user who wants to control their money and, of course, always knowing how much they have in mind.
Splid
This option is not so much for the ‘day to day’, but for specific situations. If you are going on a trip with more people, for example, you can easily control expenses and later check who has to pay something to another friend in the group. But also at home, for example, if you share expenses with your partner and you want to keep an exhaustive control of all the money flows that you have in common.
Quick Budget – Expense Manager
We return to the typical concept of an expense control app. Every month we can record any disbursement we make and review our budgets. And in the general view we have graphs and statistics for each month, the account balance and details about the last days. Again, an app that controls every detail of the money that enters and leaves our account and pocket.
Daily expenses 3
Although following the line of all the previous ones, this app prioritizes the ‘speed’ of recording our expenses. With a simple interface in which little information has to be entered so that, in our balance, the expense that we have just made enters directly. And all, of course, with graphs on the status of our account based on the income of each month. We can also review the category of each expense with all kinds of details.
Settle up
Again, an app to share expenses. You just have to enter a new category, for example, ‘Vacation trip’ and go recording each expense in group. And in these, add the people who participate in it. We can keep track of who remains to be paid and who has already paid off their debts. And within the app we can have as many categories and expenses as we have in real life, so the control is complete.
1Money
Although the foundation is identical to the previous ones, 1Money has a completely different design and, above all, many customization options. Each category can be assigned a color to make it easier to identify, and at all times we have available our expenses and income, budgets, and detailed information about each month in the form of graphs and statistics. Another excellent option for cost control and savings. Probably the best of the selection.
Wallet
The main difference that this application adds is a piece of information: ‘Was it worth it?’ For each expense you can say if it was worth it, or not, or your opinion about it is neutral. Thus, little by little, you will be able to see where you could have saved the money. The previous ones will help you improve your savings, yes, but this one keeps track of expenses in a normal way and relies mainly on the search for savings based on this simple questionnaire.
Fintonic
On Fintonic You do not have to enter anything manually, because it connects directly with your bank. It doesn’t matter how many you have and which ones, because they can all be connected. It is automatic and with an extraordinary amount of information. But in addition, Fintonic has an advantage over the alternatives mentioned above and that is that it offers us financial products directly from the app. And how could it be otherwise, adapting to our income and expenses in a millimeter way.
