CellAlert
Read full descriptionHide full description
CellAlert is the companion app for the CellAlert deadline-monitoring service. A CellAlert account is required to use this app (free to create at cellalert.app). Important deadlines often slumber in a spreadsheet and only surface once it's too late: a missed inspection, an expired certificate, a forgotten contract renewal. CellAlert turns those dates into monitored deadlines and reminds you in time โ by email, in your calendar and in this app. With the app your deadlines are always with you, on the go. How the app works with CellAlert: โข Deadlines are created in the CellAlert service from your spreadsheets (Excel, LibreOffice, FileMaker). โข This app shows them on mobile: today, this week, overdue โ and reminds you in time. โข Acknowledge and review the history โ audit-ready. WHAT CELLALERT IS MADE FOR โข Inspections & maintenance: safety checks, servicing, equipment tests, maintenance plans. โข Certificates & licenses: keep expiry dates in view before they lapse. โข Contracts: renewal and cancellation deadlines on your radar in time. โข Compliance & audit: re-certification, calibration cycles, proof obligations. APP FEATURES โข Reminders & calendar โ push/email plus calendar subscription for Outlook, Google and Apple. โข Priority & escalation โ critical deadlines remind daily until someone acknowledges. โข Recurring deadlines, filters (today, this week, overdue) and a matrix view. โข Team โ deadlines belong to the organization, with assigned responsibilities. Hosted in Germany, GDPR-compliant. Only the deadline is stored โ never your file. Sign in with your CellAlert account โ never miss a deadline again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: CellAlert at 13.0 against RefreshMate's 15.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
