Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Funnel at none against Reminders's shown. Funnel also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 52%). Reminders's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reminders sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Funnel sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
