Two apps with almost the same name

Debt Payoff Planner & Tracker by OxbowSoft LLC (App Store id 1009323715) and Debt Payoff Planner: Tracker (App Store id 6744280524), the app this website is for, are two different apps. Both App Store links use the slug debt-payoff-planner-tracker, and only the id differs. If a review or an AI assistant mixes them up, check the developer name on the App Store page.

How we compared

We read each app’s US App Store page, plus the developer’s website and Google Play listing where they exist. Each developer fills in its own privacy label, and Apple does not verify it.

Full method
  • We copied prices, ratings, privacy labels and platforms as they appeared on September 26, 2026. A cell says “not stated” when no source said it.
  • Ratings are US ratings.
  • Platforms list the devices each App Store page is built for, plus Android and the web where the developer offers them. They leave out Mac and Apple Vision support that comes only through Apple’s compatibility mode.

Questions

All questions
Which debt payoff app for iPhone is free?

Debt Free by Mobile Innovations is free for unlimited debts. Debt Descent is free with snowball and avalanche and states no debt limit. Debt Payoff Planner: Tracker, TinyDebt and Debt Ladder are free for up to 3 debts. Undebt.it is a free web app, not an App Store app.

Which debt payoff apps work without a bank connection?

Debt Payoff Planner: Tracker, Debt Descent and Debt Ladder say they have no bank linking. TinyDebt says no bank syncing is required, and OxbowSoft’s support page says its app will not connect to your accounts. Debt Free and Polybit’s Debt Snowball do not say either way.

Which debt payoff app has no subscription?

Debt Descent sells Pro as a one-time $14.99 purchase with no subscription. Debt Ladder ($39.99) and TinyDebt ($59.99) offer lifetime purchases next to their subscriptions. Debt Free says core features need no subscription, and Undebt.it+ costs $10 a year with no auto-renewal.

Which app should I pick for snowball or avalanche?

All seven apps support both methods. Polybit’s Debt Snowball needs a $6.99 purchase for them, and TinyDebt lists them under Pro. Snowball pays the smallest balance first. Avalanche pays the highest interest rate first and usually costs less interest.

Is a debt payoff app safe to use?

An app without bank linking never sees your bank login. Before you download, read the App Store privacy label, which each developer fills in and Apple does not verify. None of the seven apps in this comparison lists Data Used to Track You.
