Toshl
With an easy and intuitive design, Toshl is a personal budget and expense tracker which allows you total control over your information. Rather than linking to your bank accounts and automatically retrieving debit and credit card transaction data, here, you can manually input just the information and expenses you want to track with the app, allowing for a more personalised experience.
#6
Goodbudget
Based on the ‘envelope system’ of budget planning, which involves allocating your income into different categories for monthly spending, Goodbudget puts your spending into perspective by breaking down your budget into two virtual envelopes: ‘regular’ envelopes for your frequent monthly spending, like rent and groceries, and ‘more’ envelopes for occasional expenses and savings like gifts or vacations. The app also offers an option to sync and share your data with a partner so you can budget together.
#7

Since being named one of the Top 10 Startups by Forbes Magazine in 2013, Wally has continued its success, and still reigns as the world’s highest-rated personal finance app on iOS. This app provides a simple solution for managing your day-to-day finances. Based in Dubai, it offers a clear interface designed to streamline financial upkeep, helping to track your income, spending and set budgets. Looking to save time as well as money? Wally simplifies expense tracking with its unique feature InstaScan, which allows you to scan your receipts rather than input your spending manually.
