Rating: Money is an application for managing your money (so no nasty surprises there!) As with Jumsoft’s other software, the interface of money is well set out. Although it is probably best for those who want to see lots of transfers at once. Money is very like Cha-Ching, except with a more professional face (Money is the sort of app you would use if you just wanted to manage money, without the extra bits which you get from Cha-Ching). Money is, blazing fast (and I’m not on Intel).
Money’s best feature has to be its ability to add categories to each payment. This means you can use smart filters to filter certain bills and payments into different account, I found this a useful feature, and something that would encourage me to use Money over Cha-Ching. Money can also view web pages inside its interface, making internet banking easy, you can get a report of your money and you can even backup to .mac. You can lock places where you don’t want anyone else to get to (useful for your Macbook Savings!)
I still think, though, that Cha-Ching is better for someone who wishes for more options when managing money and a more delicious interface, but for your standard, fast money managing, you can’t really go wrong with Money. If you want interface, you can’t go wrong with Cha-Ching.
Your best bet with money applications is to try them out and see whether you can go for Cha-Ching, but if you don’t want to, Money is a solid alternative.
