Say Goodbye to clunky paper charts and hello to the Marquette NFP™ Pro charting app! Unlike predictive apps, Marquette NFP™ Pro app uses the research-backed algorithm developed by The Boland Institute for Natural Family Planning (INFP) to give you clear insights into your fertility. With a 98% accuracy rate, Marquette Method offers couples a natural, reliable way to joyfully embrace their fertility. Marquette NFP™ Pro makes charting using the method simple.

PLEASE NOTE: We recommend learning the Marquette Method from a Marquette Method Certified Professional (MMCP) before relying on the app for Natural Family Planning decisions.

Couples can choose which biomarkers to track! Allowing for users to add additional biomarkers such as temp and LH tests to their charts. ● COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR. Clear easy to read charts make it easy for the couple to see and understand their fertility. Easy export options allow couples to easily share their chart with their MMCP for personalized conversation and feedback! “The new app will now make the Marquette Method of NFP easier to access, learn, and use… [It] is a true device to help women monitor their menstrual cycle as a vital sign for health.” – DR. RICHARD FEHRING, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, Professor Emeritus at Marquette University College of Nursing, and a research scientist at the Boland Institute for Natural Family Planning.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tempdrop at 4.2 against Marquette NFP™ Pro's 3.4. Tempdrop also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Marquette NFP™ Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
