# BirthdaysPro vs My Gift List

The clearest difference is rating: BirthdaysPro at 4.8 against My Gift List's 4.4. BirthdaysPro also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 49). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BirthdaysPro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 6 months and My Gift List sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BirthdaysPro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BirthdaysPro has 1.1K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of BirthdaysPro's written reviews are positive against 69% of My Gift List's.

BirthdaysPro ships an update fortnightly, My Gift List every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
