Is your HRT working, or is this just a good week? Perika answers that from your own daily check-ins, before and after every dose change. It is a private log for women on hormone therapy. Record what you take and when it changed, then rate how you feel in about 20 seconds a day. Perika compares your own symptom scores either side of the change and says in plain language what moved and what did not. DID THE CHANGE ACTUALLY HELP ⢠Log hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, brain fog, anxiety, fatigue and joint pain in about 20 seconds a day ⢠Record every dose increase, decrease and stop, with the date it happened ⢠Get a plain sentence for each change: which symptoms moved, which did not, and how many check-ins each number is built on BUILT FOR THE MESSY PARTS ⢠It was working, and then it stopped ⢠You stopped one and started another ⢠Your dose went up three weeks ago and you still cannot tell READY FOR YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT ⢠Your regimen, your change dates, and what your most recent change did to your overall symptom load, free in the app ⢠Every earlier change decoded, plus the per-symptom before and after breakdown as a PDF, with Perika Pro PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No account. No sign up. ⢠Your check-ins and regimen never leave this phone ⢠Export everything to a file whenever you like, and take it with you Free to log, always. One payment of $19.99 unlocks the decode for every change you have recorded rather than only the most recent one, plus the clinician PDF export. No subscription, nothing to cancel. Perika is a personal tracking tool, not medical advice and not a diagnosis. It reports what you logged. Always make treatment decisions with your clinician.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Perika at every 3 weeks against Pause's every 2 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
