Facts checked on 2026-09-19 from the live store listings and websites listed under Sources. Store prices are the India storefront labels exactly as shown. We make Expense Tracker, so read this as the maker's comparison — the places where Spendee is better are listed first.
Spendee is the better choice if bank sync, web access and a partner sharing the same wallet matter most — check first that your bank is on its list. Expense Tracker is the cheaper, offline option with a larger free plan, for people who are happy to log spends themselves.

"Not published" means we could not find the fact on the developer's own listing or website on 2026-09-19. It does not mean the feature is missing. Our own facts come from the app's source code; entries without a citation are from there.
Export your history from Spendee first and keep the file. Expense Tracker starts empty: there is no importer built for Spendee's backup format. The Pro CSV import is designed for bank-statement exports; a spreadsheet from another app may work if it has date, description and amount columns, but we have not tested Spendee's export. Most people simply start fresh on the 1st of a month and keep the old app for reference.
Spendee has a free Basic plan with 1 cash wallet and 1 budget. Plus costs $1.99 a month or $14.99 a year and Premium $5.99 a month or $35.99 a year on its website; Google Play India lists in-app purchases from ₹79 to ₹9,900 per item (checked 19 September 2026).
Spendee says it connects to more than 2,500 financial providers worldwide, and India appears in its country selector, but the bank-connect page names no Indian bank. Check your own bank in the app before paying for it.
Expense Tracker: ₹299 a year or ₹699 once for lifetime Pro. Spendee Plus is $14.99 a year and Premium $35.99 a year on its website.
