General comments
PocketSmith Sidekick Super is a costly subscription service ($186.95) offering spend tracking and categorical budgeting. Despite its high cost, there's a fair bit of effort needed to set up the app properly, due to it not having built-in categories. However, once it's all set up properly, it can auto-assign categories to relevant entries and give a quick overview and projection of your net worth.
