# Ivy vs ReminderOS

The clearest difference is monetization model: ReminderOS at freemium against Ivy's subscription. ReminderOS also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Ivy's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ivy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ReminderOS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Ivy against 5.0 for ReminderOS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ivy has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Ivy ships an update every 10 days, ReminderOS every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
