# MyPatch vs Birth Control Reminder

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Birth Control Reminder at 92% against MyPatch's 29%. Birth Control Reminder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (27 vs 3). MyPatch's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyPatch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Birth Control Reminder sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MyPatch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Birth Control Reminder has 27 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of MyPatch's written reviews are positive against 92% of Birth Control Reminder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MyPatch ships an update every 2 weeks, Birth Control Reminder every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
