# Reminder vs Window

The clearest difference is rating: Window at 5.0 against Reminder's 4.6. Reminder's advantage is ratings volume (344 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). 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 Window sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Window holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reminder has 344 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Reminder ships an update every 6 days, Window every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
