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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MANstrual at none against Meal Pic's shown. Meal Pic's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MANstrual sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year and Meal Pic sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 MANstrual against 4.9 for Meal Pic. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meal Pic has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
MANstrual ships an update weekly, Meal Pic every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
