Dr Bling Bling
EveryDollar or Dr Bling Bling?
EveryDollar's free version asks you to type in every purchase. Its paid version connects to your bank. There is a third way, which is to use the statement you already get.
The short answer
Choose EveryDollar if you want a monthly budget that gives every dollar a job, and especially if you already follow Ramsey Solutions' approach.
Choose Dr Bling Bling if the typing is what made you give up, and you do not want to pay yearly to connect your bank instead.

Where EveryDollar is better
It is a budgeting tool and a good one. It has sinking funds, bill due dates and, on Premium, debt payoff tracking and coaching. It also works on a computer. This app has no budgets at all and is not going to grow them.
Where Dr Bling Bling is better
You never type a row from a bank statement again. A month of payments goes in at once, sorted, and a year goes in nearly as fast. For cash, there is manual entry.
When the app cannot place a payment, it asks you once and remembers the answer. The next statement gets it right, and so does every earlier payment to that place.
Nothing is stored online. Your spending stays on your iPhone and not on somebody's server.
What it will not do
It will not plan next month. It looks backwards and tells you what happened. If planning is what helps you, a budget app is the better tool.
See what your own statement says
Free to download, and every way of adding a statement is free. No bank login, no account, no subscription.
Questions people ask
Is EveryDollar free?

Can Dr Bling Bling import a whole year at once?
Yes. Pick several statements in Files and it reads them together. Seeing more than the last three months takes the one-time purchase.
