Why bother comparing?

Most period and menopause apps are free because your health data is the product. If you're in perimenopause, the stakes are higher — your symptom patterns can affect insurance, employment, and how your doctor treats you. These pages show you exactly what you're paying for, and what you're giving up.

Horiva: $9/mo — data never leaves your device
How does Horiva compare to Balance for perimenopause tracking?
Balance is a general menopause app that requires an account and cloud sync. Horiva uses on-device storage — your symptom data never leaves your phone. The core difference is architectural: Balance can share or subpoena your health data; Horiva cannot because it never has it.
What should I look for when comparing perimenopause tracking apps?
Evaluate three things: does the app track irregular cycles accurately (regular-cycle apps miss perimenopause patterns), where does the data live (on-device vs. cloud), and what is the app's revenue model (data-selling vs. subscription). Most generic period trackers fail on the first point; most free apps fail on the second two.
Are there perimenopause apps that don't sell health data?
Most free period and menopause apps generate revenue from data or advertising. Paid subscription apps are more likely to use direct revenue, but cloud storage is still a privacy risk regardless of monetization model. These comparison pages document each app's actual data handling.
Is Clue a good option for perimenopause symptom tracking?
Clue was built for regular-cycle tracking and added perimenopause features later. Its cycle prediction logic assumes more regularity than perimenopause actually involves. The comparison pages cover this limitation alongside Clue's privacy architecture.
