I made this app for myself as the normal reminder apps just allowed me to ignore the reminders. This app really doesn't let you ignore them, it'll annoy you every minute until you deal with the reminder! I figured other people might be like me too so here it is! Dealing with the reminder might be stopping it as you've taken care of the task, or snoozing it as now might not be the best time. Your reminders can be recurring, every day of the week, or select days of the week or even monthly. Use Insistent as a reminder for anything that you can't afford to forget; taking a pill, paying a bill, doing a chore, calling your dearest mother, you name it! This app could be useful for those with ADHD where things out of sight are quickly forgotten. Word of caution though, don't let the app rule your life and bombard you with reminders throughout the day as that could end up making things worse!
Your birthdays

Have you ever forgotten a birthday? I know that feeling very well, which is why I built this small but handy app. It can be your helpful assistant, showing you all the important upcoming birthdays and reminding you of them. You can even set multiple notifications per birthday, so you get reminded a few days in advance - for example, to buy a gift. I hope you find it useful too - enjoy!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Insistent at none against Your birthdays's 2. Your birthdays's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
