Verdict

The call

myPill® Birth Control Reminder and MyPatch both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of myPill® Birth Control Reminder's written reviews are positive against 29% of MyPatch's. myPill® Birth Control Reminder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 1). MyPatch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price, rating and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyPatch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myPill® Birth Control Reminder has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of myPill® Birth Control Reminder's written reviews are positive against 29% of MyPatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myPill® Birth Control Reminder ships an update every 4 months, MyPatch every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
