Perimenopause can feel like your body changed overnight and nobody told you why. PeriBalance turns that chaos into clarity. Log hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, and sleep in seconds. Watch your patterns appear week by week. Ask Sage, your warm AI companion, what is actually happening โ with real medical sources, never guesswork. Everything you log stays private on your device. Premium unlocks unlimited conversations with Sage, full Insights and trends, and the complete Learn library. Monthly and annual plans available; the annual plan includes a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Medical Disclaimer: PeriBalance is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Seek your doctor's advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.

Ember

Ember is a perimenopause symptom tracker built for this transition, not adapted from a period tracker. A minute a day, and a report your doctor can actually use. A DAILY CHECK-IN, BUILT FOR PERIMENOPAUSE Tap the symptoms that showed up today, from hot flashes and night sweats to brain fog, low mood and joint aches, and rate how strong they were. Add sleep, habits, bleeding and HRT. It takes about a minute. There are no fertility prompts and no cycle predictions, and a missed day breaks nothing. A REPORT FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT Ember turns what you log into a clear summary for your doctor or specialist: which symptoms came up most, how intense they were, and your monthly check-in score. Share it as a PDF, print it, or show it on your phone. SEE HOW THINGS CHANGE Trends shows each symptom over the past week, month or three months. Once a month, a short check-in asks how much each symptom has bothered you, and your score shows which way things are moving. HRT REMINDERS ON YOUR SCHEDULE If you take HRT, set a quiet reminder on the days and at the time that suit you. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH If you choose, Ember fills in last night's sleep and the day's workouts from Apple Health. It reads them on your phone and never writes to Health. WHAT YOU LOG STAYS ON YOUR PHONE There is no account to create and no Ember server holding your logs. They leave your phone only when you share a report or a backup yourself. Ember sends anonymous usage counts and crash reports, which never include anything you log. ORGANIZED, NEVER DIAGNOSED Ember doesn't diagnose, explain causes or give medical advice. It organizes what you log, so you and your doctor can decide what it means. SUBSCRIPTION Ember is $6.99 a month, or $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is taken through your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Ember at 16.4 against PeriBalance's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
