Debt Payoff Planner: Tracker

Debt Payoff Planner: Tracker is an iPhone and web-based planning tool for recording debts, logging payments, comparing payoff strategies, and following progress. Its snowball approach targets the smallest balance, while avalanche focuses on the highest interest rate. Users can review payment history, set reminders, and track estimated progress toward becoming debt-free. The app can record both money users owe and money owed to them, and it works offline. Debts are entered manually: the app does not connect to a bank or request bank login details. Debt records stay on the user's iPhone and private iCloud rather than the developer's servers, although purchases, analytics, and diagnostics use service providers. The free plan covers up to three debts and includes payment logging, reminders, and a debt-free estimate. Premium monthly costs $4.99 a month; Premium yearly costs $29.99 a year and includes a 7-day free trial. Paid plans add unlimited debts, exact payoff-order comparisons, advanced statistics, and PDF reports. The app requires iOS 26 or later and has no Android version. Its website also has free browser calculators that do not require an account.

The app offers manual debt tracking, two payoff strategies, reminders, and progress estimates. Check the iOS requirement and the three-debt free-plan limit before choosing a plan.

It suits iPhone users who want to manually track debts and compare snowball and avalanche payoff approaches. The browser calculators may also suit people who want to calculate payoff plans without an account.

Overview

Debt Payoff Planner: Tracker is a debt-planning app for iPhone users who want to enter balances themselves and keep payment progress in view. It suits people who value reminders and a choice of two familiar payoff methods, but less so anyone who needs Android support or wants to track more than three debts without paying.

This is a planning tool, not a lender or debt-settlement service. Its website also offers browser-based calculators for debt payoff, loans, and credit cards, with no account required.

Key features

The app supports snowball, which targets the smallest balance, and avalanche, which targets the highest interest rate. Those options let users choose between pursuing smaller balances first and prioritizing interest rates; anyone seeking another payoff approach will need a different tool.

Debts are entered manually, then users can log payments, review payment history, set reminders, and track progress toward an estimated debt-free date. The app can also record money owed to the user. Manual entry avoids bank connections and bank-login requests, but keeping balances current is the user's responsibility. Offline access is useful for checking records without a connection.

Debt records stay on the user's iPhone and private iCloud rather than going to the developer's servers. Purchases, analytics, and diagnostics use service providers. Calculator inputs are not sent to analytics, though printed-plan QR codes and older shared-plan links can contain debt names and plan numbers in their URLs. Anyone sharing those links or plans should consider that exposure.

Pricing

The free plan covers basic tracking but its three-debt ceiling may be restrictive for people managing several balances. Premium removes that cap and adds detailed comparison, statistics, and reports. Monthly billing fits someone who wants to avoid an annual commitment; yearly billing costs less over a year than paying $4.99 a month, and includes the stated 7-day trial.

Platforms

The app is for iPhone and requires iOS 26 or later; there is no Android version. That requirement rules it out for older iPhones that cannot run the required system and for Android users. The app is available in 13 languages.

Who it's for

Choose it if you use a compatible iPhone, are comfortable entering balances manually, and want reminders, offline access, and basic progress tracking without linking a bank account. Look elsewhere if you need Android, a different payoff strategy, or more than three debts on a free plan.

Pros and cons

Pros

• No bank connection: Manual records avoid sharing bank credentials, and debt data stays on the iPhone and in private iCloud.
• Useful core tracking: Payment logs, history, reminders, and a debt-free estimate help users monitor a payoff plan.
• Offline access: Users can consult the app without an internet connection.

Cons

• Three-debt free cap: Users with more balances must upgrade to keep them all in the app.
• Platform restriction: iOS 26 or later is required, and Android is unsupported.
• Only two strategies: Snowball and avalanche leave no option for users who prefer another payoff framework.
• Manual upkeep: Balances depend on users entering and updating their own information.

Alternatives

• Debt Ladder is worth considering if Android support matters; it also offers a free plan capped at three debts, with monthly check-ins, a debt-free date, and reminders.
• Debt Payoff Planner is another Android-compatible option, with a free plan and a Pro plan from $2 a month.
• DebtClear is an Android option with a free tier and no premium subscription.

Verdict

Debt Payoff Planner: Tracker is a sound fit for iPhone users who want private, manually maintained debt records, payment reminders, and a simple snowball-versus-avalanche comparison. Its main advantages are offline use and avoiding bank connections; the three-debt free cap, iOS 26 requirement, and absence of Android support are clear reasons to look elsewhere.
