# MyMonitor vs Frequency

The clearest difference is price: Frequency at Free against MyMonitor's $1.99. Frequency also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.2) and review sentiment (73% vs 52%). MyMonitor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Frequency is free to download; MyMonitor costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Frequency holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frequency has 1.2K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of MyMonitor's written reviews are positive against 73% of Frequency's.

MyMonitor ships an update every 5 weeks, Frequency fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
