MANstrual turns her cycle into daily weather, so he knows how to show up. For her: - Enter period dates or optionally connect Apple Health or a supported wearable through Junction. - See your forecast, today's advice and honest confidence when information is limited. - Keep a Comfort Kit of the things that help, and choose what your partner can see. - Control pairing, sharing and wearable connections. Pause sharing, remove a partner, disconnect or delete your account from Settings. For him: - See her shared forecast as weather, with practical ways to support her. - Learn about the cycle in Intel and find the things she wants in her Comfort Kit. - Get a heads-up before phase changes. MANstrual Plus: One annual subscription covers you and your current paired partner. The US price is $19.99 per year, with localized prices shown in the app. Eligible Apple Accounts receive a one-month introductory free trial when they subscribe. The subscription automatically renews at the annual price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Restore purchases from MANstrual Settings. Optional physical Comfort Kit deliveries are paid per order. Private by design: Her controls what is shared. Her partner sees derived forecasts, never raw health records. Apple Health is optional and read-only, and Junction processes the selected data to build the forecast. Health data is never used for advertising or sold. MANstrual is a wellness product. Forecasts are estimates based on entered dates and optional wearable trends. It does not diagnose conditions, predict fertility, confirm pregnancy or provide contraception.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aura at none against MANstrual's 1. Aura also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
