Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: myNotifier at none against ShellBean's 5. myNotifier also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). ShellBean's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myNotifier holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShellBean has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of ShellBean's written reviews are positive against 83% of myNotifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ShellBean ships an update every 6 days, myNotifier every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
