Verdict
Period and MBody both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of MBody's written reviews are positive against 54% of Period's. Period's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 27). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Period against 5.0 for MBody. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Period has 2.8K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of Period's written reviews are positive against 100% of MBody's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
