# Reminder vs nag

The clearest difference is rating: nag at 5.0 against Reminder's 4.6. nag also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 days). Reminder's advantage is ratings volume (341 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reminder sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.95 per year and nag sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

nag holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reminder has 341 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Reminder's written reviews are positive against 100% of nag's.

Reminder ships an update every 6 days, nag every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
