Debitum vs My Price Log
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Debitum
With Debitum you can track all kinds of IOUs, be it money or lent items. This way you will never more forget if your friend already gave you back that book or dispute about how much you owe your colleague for coffee. The intended use case is to manage (smaller) personal debts and lent items. To keep things simple, things like interest, deadlines, fees etc. will not be an integral part of the app (though the description could somehow be used for that, but I would generally recommend to use more specialised apps for this). You can backup and restore the database where persons and transactions are stored. There is no online service whatsoever involved, so your data is saved on your device only (as far as this app is concerned). Keywords: IOU, debt, lend
My Price Log
My Price Log helps you record prices of products at local stores and compare them. It works entirely offline:You enter a list of stores.You enter a list of products sold at those stores.You enter, update and confirm the prices of those products at those stores as you shop.The app shows you the unit price of a product at all the stores which sell it, allowing you to decide where to buy it.There’s nothing particularly fancy or clever here. It’s a very simple, specialised database with a user interface optimised for easy use when you’re standing in a supermarket aisle with a basket or trolley.The app tracks how old each price is, so you won’t be misled by out-of-date prices. Old prices are indicated by icons and a simplistic inflation adjustment is applied to try to keep them somewhat useful, although for best results you should update the prices yourself. You can view a price’s history if you want to see how it has changed over time.The app will make a recommendation as to whether a price is good, OK or bad if it has enough information. A list of unit prices is also shown so you can decide for yourself.Customer loyalty scheme discounts can be specified for each store and these will be used to adjust the unit price when making a comparison between stores.Unit conversions are handled automatically, both within and between measurement systems. Metric, imperial and US customary units are all supported.
