# Premom vs PatchPal

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PatchPal at none against Premom's 10. PatchPal also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and review sentiment (80% vs 70%). Premom's advantage is ratings volume (61K vs 7) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Premom sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. PatchPal asks for nothing beyond the download.

Premom holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Premom has 61K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Premom's written reviews are positive against 80% of PatchPal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Premom ships an update weekly, PatchPal every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
