# myPill® Birth Control Reminder vs Ring

The clearest difference is ads: myPill® Birth Control Reminder at none against Ring's shown. myPill® Birth Control Reminder also leads on ratings volume (6.6K vs 31) and device support (3 vs 1). Ring's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (87% vs 69%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. myPill® Birth Control Reminder sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Ring sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for myPill® Birth Control Reminder against 4.7 for Ring. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myPill® Birth Control Reminder has 6.6K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of myPill® Birth Control Reminder's written reviews are positive against 87% of Ring's.

myPill® Birth Control Reminder ships an update every 4 months, Ring every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
