Money Manager (by Realbyte) is for logging expenses on your phone. So is Cuéntamo, with no bank connection, and it keeps going from there: it forecasts your balance months and years ahead, splits expenses between people, adds net worth and investments, imports your bank statement instead of making you type it, and works the same on your phone as on your computer. And if you're coming from Money Manager, it brings your history with you. Here's the comparison, point by point.

If you're here, you've probably run into one of its limits: having to type everything in (or first reshape it into its Excel template), needing your phone switched on and on the same Wi-Fi to use it on your computer, the ads in the free version… or, above all, that it tells you where your money went but not how much you'll have. Cuéntamo solves all of that.
Both start from the same idea: running your money without spreadsheets and without giving anyone access to your bank. You set up your accounts by hand (cash, bank, card), log transactions with shortcuts to your categories and see it all in budgets and charts. Both keep the receipt photo and back up your data. So far, a draw.
Cuéntamo too. That's the usual argument for Money Manager, and in Cuéntamo the quick-entry button takes you to your favourite categories: button, category, amount, done, free and with no ads. It installs on your phone like any app, and what you log on the go you then see on the big screen without connecting anything.
Free, no ads, unlimited transactions, no card required. Bring your Money Manager history or your bank statement, and in a few minutes you'll see how much money you're going to have.
