# PatchDay vs HRTMe

PatchDay and HRTMe both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of HRTMe's written reviews are positive against 46% of PatchDay's. HRTMe also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). PatchDay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HRTMe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. PatchDay asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for PatchDay against 4.9 for HRTMe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HRTMe has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of PatchDay's written reviews are positive against 89% of HRTMe's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
