Both are free to download. MyRing sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.79 per month and Birth Control Pill Reminder + sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Birth Control Pill Reminder + holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyRing has 711 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of MyRing's written reviews are positive against 17% of Birth Control Pill Reminder +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MyRing ships an update every 5 days, Birth Control Pill Reminder + every 22 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
