Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BirthControl Reminder at 92% against MyPatch's 29%. BirthControl Reminder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (27 vs 3). MyPatch's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyPatch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BirthControl 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: BirthControl 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 BirthControl 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, BirthControl Reminder every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
