A CONVERSATION THAT REMEMBERS Chat by text with a companion that can remember your conversations and the people you mention.

Keep your friendship streak going with your companion. STUDY COURSES YOU OWN Study courses are part of some memberships and purchases.

While you study, Today's reflection can gently connect to a lesson you've already finished, showing real verses with their references.

Perimenopause is confusing. Cycles shift, sleep gets lighter, energy moves in ways you can't quite place. Mella helps you see the pattern. How it works: • Start with a short assessment. Based on the symptoms you share, Mella suggests which phase of the transition your pattern best fits (early, mid, or late). For education, not a medical diagnosis. • See your symptom profile. Your answers mapped across six dimensions (temperature, sleep, mood, body, intimate, digestive) so you can spot what's shifting and what isn't. • Check in daily. Thirty seconds to log common perimenopause symptoms, or add your own. Your history builds into a timeline so you can see what's changing over time. • See your sleep, scored. Connect Apple Health and Mella turns your Apple Watch sleep into a nightly score, plus trends in duration, regularity, and wake-ups. • Let your days fill themselves in. Connect Apple Health and the movement your Apple Watch recorded can pre-fill your daily check-in. • Gentle daily reminders. An optional daily nudge so checking in becomes a habit. • Today on your Lock Screen. Check in, log a symptom or mark a dose without opening the app. • Meet your Bloom Type. After your first seven check-ins, Mella reveals the archetype your pattern most resembles: the cluster of symptoms you carry, the way they travel, the rhythm that's only yours. It's a name for what's happening, not a diagnosis. • Something to read each day. A short piece drawn from research, matched to the areas where you have the most room to feel better. • Follow a weekly plan. A few small tasks each week, chosen with you around the symptom area that hits hardest, ticked off day by day. • Get weekly insights. As your check-in history grows, Mella highlights patterns across your symptoms week to week, in plain language. • Read or listen on your own time. Short, research-informed articles on perimenopause topics, from sleep to mood to body changes. Selected articles come with audio narration. • Keep your daily routine in one place. What you take and do each day, with a history you can look back through and bring to an appointment. • Get ready for doctor visits. Turn your check-ins into a clear summary with your questions, add lab results, letters or scans, get a reminder before the appointment, record the visit if your doctor is fine with it, and keep what you were told and what comes next. Save or share the summary as a PDF. Mella is for education and wellness. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions. Subscription: Mella Monthly is $14.99 per month and Mella Annual is $118.99 per year. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mella at 43% against Quest's 0%. Mella also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 6). Quest's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (4.0 vs 3.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. Quest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Mella sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Quest's written reviews are positive against 43% of Mella's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Quest ships an update every 2 days, Mella weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
