# BirthdaysPro vs Pikurate

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pikurate at none against BirthdaysPro's 3. Pikurate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). BirthdaysPro's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BirthdaysPro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 6 months. Pikurate asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pikurate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BirthdaysPro has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
