# Meteor vs Reminder

The clearest difference is rating: Reminder at 5.0 against Meteor's 4.5. Reminder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (96% vs 83%). Meteor's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (151 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meteor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Reminder sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reminder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meteor has 151 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Meteor's written reviews are positive against 96% of Reminder's.

Meteor ships an update every 5 days, Reminder every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
