# Water Reminder vs PhaseBloom

The clearest difference is update cadence: Water Reminder at every 6 days against PhaseBloom's every 2 months. Water Reminder also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 3). PhaseBloom's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Water Reminder sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and PhaseBloom sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PhaseBloom holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Water Reminder has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Water Reminder's written reviews are positive against 100% of PhaseBloom's.
