# MigraineCast vs ProAct

The clearest difference is ads: MigraineCast at none against ProAct's shown. MigraineCast also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). ProAct's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MigraineCast sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and ProAct sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProAct holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MigraineCast has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
