# Scheduled vs Reminder Text

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reminder Text at 78% against Scheduled's 10%. Reminder Text also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.8). Scheduled's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 133). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scheduled sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Reminder Text sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reminder Text holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scheduled has 1.3K ratings behind it against 133, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 10% of Scheduled's written reviews are positive against 78% of Reminder Text's.

Scheduled ships an update every 3 weeks, Reminder Text every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
