Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Birth Control Pill Reminder § at 70% against MyPatch's 29%. Birth Control Pill Reminder § also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (437 vs 1). MyPatch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyPatch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Birth Control Pill Reminder § has 437 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Birth Control Pill Reminder §'s written reviews are positive against 29% of MyPatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Birth Control Pill Reminder § ships an update every 4 months, MyPatch every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
