ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Period Tracker ⋆ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Period Tracker ⋆ has 26K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Period Tracker ⋆'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Heracue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Period Tracker ⋆ ships an update every 2 months, Heracue every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
