DevMargin vs Totals

Totals puts today’s revenue in your Mac menubar for $19.99, once, with no account and no server holding your data. If that is the whole of what you want, buy Totals — it is a better answer to that question than any dashboard, including this one.

Side by side

Totals’ figures were taken from their own site on 13 August 2026. If something has gone out of date, it is an error rather than a tactic — tell us and it gets fixed.

What Totals does better

The things a hosted product structurally cannot

  • No account, no trust decision. Your keys never leave your machine, so there is nothing to breach and nobody to believe. That is a real advantage over us and it is not one we can match, because being hosted is the point of the rest of it.
  • One payment. $19.99 and you are done. On our Pro plan that is a bit over two months.
  • Zero friction. It sits in the menubar, it notifies you when money arrives, and it never asks you to open a dashboard.

Which to pick

Choose Totals if

You want a glance, not a report. Your money arrives through the five rails it reads, you would rather not hand credentials to anyone, and one payment beats a subscription.

Choose DevMargin if

You need costs subtracted, a record of how the figure moved, App Store and Play money in the same total, or an agent able to read the portfolio.

Both, easily

They do not overlap much. Totals in the menubar for the daily glance, DevMargin open when you are deciding what to keep building, is a perfectly sensible arrangement.
