The clearest difference is rating: PERSISTENT Reminder at 5.0 against NagMe!'s 4.5. NagMe!'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NagMe! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PERSISTENT Reminder sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PERSISTENT Reminder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NagMe! has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

NagMe! ships an update fortnightly, PERSISTENT Reminder every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
