FIVE PHASES. FIVE DIFFERENT SKIN STORIES. Bleed: Repair and restore. Barrier-first, gentle everything. Follicular: Your golden window. Retinol, actives, collagen. Ovulatory: Peak radiance. Protect and maintain your glow. Early Luteal: Balance sebum. Support your shifting skin. Late Luteal: Calm inflammation. Soothe and protect. WHAT'S INSIDE: Phase-synced routines Morning and evening routines that adapt to your cycle every day. Built around your shelf, your skin type and your phase. Product shelf Add your products and see phase safety ratings for every item in your cabinet. Know what to use, what to rest and what to avoid, and when. Skin phase guidance Deep science behind all 5 phases. Know what your hormones are doing and exactly how your skin responds. Daily skin log Track clarity, hydration, oiliness, sensitivity and glow every day. Watch personalized insights build over time as you spot your patterns. Before and after photos A photo log tied to your cycle day and phase. Compare your bleed-phase skin to your ovulatory glow and watch the difference hormones make. Clinic treatment guide When to book microneedling, laser, injectables and peels. Timing treatments to your cycle doubles results and halves recovery.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flow Glow at none against Petal's shown. Flow Glow also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Petal's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases 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. Petal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Flow Glow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. 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 Petal against 5.0 for Flow Glow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Petal has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Petal ships an update every 10 days, Flow Glow every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
