# FutureMe vs CareDays

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CareDays at 100% against FutureMe's 28%. CareDays also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.7). FutureMe's advantage is ratings volume (138 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FutureMe sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per year and CareDays sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CareDays holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FutureMe has 138 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of FutureMe's written reviews are positive against 100% of CareDays's.

FutureMe ships an update every 9 days, CareDays fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
