# Reminders vs Daily Routine Planner

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reminders at none against Daily Routine Planner's 15. Reminders also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 42%) and ratings volume (1M vs 3.7K). Daily Routine Planner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Routine Planner sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Reminders asks for nothing beyond the download.

Reminders holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reminders has 1M ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Reminders's written reviews are positive against 42% of Daily Routine Planner's.

Reminders ships an update every 5 months, Daily Routine Planner fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
