# Remindfulness vs The Pattern

The clearest difference is ads: The Pattern at none against Remindfulness's shown. The Pattern also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 20). Remindfulness's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 42%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remindfulness sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Pattern sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Pattern holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Pattern has 15K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Remindfulness's written reviews are positive against 42% of The Pattern's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Remindfulness ships an update every 12 months, The Pattern weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
