# Reminderbase vs Cue

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cue at 100% against Reminderbase's 44%. Cue also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Reminderbase's advantage is ratings volume (448 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reminderbase sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Cue sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cue holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reminderbase has 448 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Reminderbase's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cue's.

Reminderbase ships an update every 2 weeks, Cue every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
