Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: iDo Hygiene at free against First and Then Visual Schedule's subscription. iDo Hygiene also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.6). First and Then Visual Schedule's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and rating (3.3 vs 3.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDo Hygiene sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and First and Then Visual Schedule sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
First and Then Visual Schedule holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of iDo Hygiene's written reviews are positive against 33% of First and Then Visual Schedule's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iDo Hygiene ships an update every 5 months, First and Then Visual Schedule weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
