What's great: Mint categorizes most of your purchases so you don't have to.

What's not: The service can be overwhelming to use at first, and managing budgets can be tedious.

Check

Free, iOS and Android

This app helps corral all of your bills in one place, and then helps you pay them easily without going to each service's website. You can log into your various accounts for your utilities, credit cards, cable subscriptions, loans and more, and then see a dashboard of what's due next and when. You'll get reminders for upcoming bills, and there's a handy calendar view that shows all your bills' due dates plotted out each month.

There are some fees associated with Check, but if you pay your bills with your bank account and pay them before the due date, you can avoid them.

What's great: Check lets you either make a one-time payment, or set up recurring payments for your bills each month.

What's not: Payments can take a few days to process.

BillGuard

Free, iOS and Android

BillGuard focuses on protecting you from fraudulent charges. The app monitors your spending from your bank accounts and credit cards and helps you review your transactions to make sure everything is correct. If you see a mistake, you can request a refund from the vendor within the app.

One really powerful feature is the location-based fraud alerts, which show on a map where your card's been used. You can also review purchases that BillGuard thinks are suspicious.

Level's design is dead-simple, with few distractions. You can easily see how much you've spent, and how much more you can comfortably spend each day or week. It also automatically categorizes each transaction, so you can get a feel for where your money is going.

The app works with Android Wear watches too, so you can see your daily spending allowance on your wrist.

What's great: The app gives you concise spending limits, so you can stay within your budget.

What's not: Level's allowance approach won't appeal to everyone, and it's not great for tracking long-term financial goals.
