Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Reminder at every 5 days against Melo's every 3 months. Reminder also leads on ratings volume (340 vs 17). Melo's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Reminder sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.95 per year and Melo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Melo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reminder has 340 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Reminder's written reviews are positive against 75% of Melo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Reminder ships an update every 5 days, Melo every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
