Look at your CGM data everywhere you Like to Look. GotCGM takes the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data from Dexcom or Libre blood sugar sensors and routes it in real-time to the places you actually look - your Apple watch, Apple Health, the iPhone lock and home screens, the dynamic island while you're in other apps, and your car - so you can glance at your blood sugar and get on with your day. WHY PEOPLE USE IT * Apple Watch: See your current BG and trend at a glance. GotCGM uses a custom Contact Complication to share CGM data to your watch in real time. * Apple Health: Puts the data from your CGM into AHK so you can see trends against your other health data, share with clinics and your physician, and more. * iPhone at a glance: Lock-screen and home-screen widgets keep BG visible without opening the app. * Live Activities show in the Dynamic Island and on your iPhone lock screen, on your Apple Watch, and with CarPlay. * For other watches and also in the car: the Calendar Integration surfaces BG info as a calendar event * Simple setup: Use your Dexcom Share or LibreLinkUp credentials to start routing your CGM data immediately and in real time. SUPPORTED CGMs * Dexcom G6/G7 * Abbott Freestyle Libre 2/3(+) * Other CGMs that have been configured to write their data into Apple Health or can write into Nightscout. SAFETY WARNING Warning: Dosing decisions should not be made based on this device. The user should follow instructions on the CGM system.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HerDiabetes at 5.0 against GotCGM's 3.4. GotCGM's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. HerDiabetes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and GotCGM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HerDiabetes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GotCGM has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
HerDiabetes ships an update fortnightly, GotCGM every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
