Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Reminders is free to download; brrrrr costs $7.99 up front. Reminders sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. brrrrr asks for nothing beyond the download.
brrrrr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reminders has 96 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Reminders's written reviews are positive against 0% of brrrrr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
