# PhaseMate vs Luteal

The clearest difference is rating: Luteal at 5.0 against PhaseMate's 4.5. PhaseMate's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhaseMate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Luteal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Luteal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhaseMate has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
