Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker vs Clue Period & Cycle Tracker
Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker is better for users seeking a comprehensive, free experience with extensive pregnancy resources, while Clue Period & Cycle Tracker is a reliable period tracker but its free version is heavily impacted by persistent subscription prompts.
Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker offers a feature-rich, free experience for cycle and pregnancy tracking, though recent updates have caused data loss and bugs. Clue Period & Cycle Tracker provides accurate period tracking but its free version is plagued by frequent and intrusive ads for its paid subscription.
Head to head
You want a free, comprehensive app with extensive pregnancy resources, community features, and educational content, and are willing to overlook some recent bugs and potential data transfer issues R11R20R23.
You prioritize highly accurate period tracking, especially for irregular cycles, and are willing to either tolerate frequent subscription ads in the free version or pay for a subscription to remove them .
Evidence note: Clue's free-tier experience is heavily skewed by negative reviews regarding incessant subscription ads, which might not reflect the experience of paid users. Ovia's recent negative reviews are largely focused on data loss and bugs after updates.

- [R8] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Just one error I’d like them to fix!: I love this app, I’ve used it all the way back from 2019 with my first baby to now 2026 with my 4th baby. I love all the milestones, community chats, food safety list and all the other handy tools/articles. The only issue I have with this app is the sizing of the baby in the womb. Every week it gives you a new week update on how the baby is and the sizings are
- [R9] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Helpful but uses political language: This app has a lot of useful information, but much of the content/copy was clearly written by progressive youngsters trying to be as inclusive as possible - to the point where it gets stupid and offensive to normies like me. This app is for PREGNANT WOMEN. Rarely if ever will you see the word woman - “folks” is much more common, even when it sounds forced - and
- [R11] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Favorite for years!: I’ve used this app for years now as it has walked with me in tracking cycles, trying to conceive now twice, pregnancy, and postpartum. I love the community features, the self care checklist, and the library of articles and videos! So many resources on this app! I have one suggestion. I would love it if the self-care checklists were saved in a way where I could look back on pre
- [R12] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Not great for twins: Allows you to specify a twin pregnancy but doesn’t customize any of the language or information to be more customized to twins.
- [R1] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Took away customization: The new update took away the beautiful galaxy background I’ve had on my tracker for years. Now it’s just another boring ugly period tracker app. Nice going.
- [R20] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Perfect Cycle Tracker: So much better than the other cycle trackers I have tried. Thoughtfully laid out. All the information you could want. And no aggressive pushing to subscribe! And even if I do want to subscribe someday in the future… the fact it’s not being pushed on me every time I open the app makes me so much more likely to consider it!
- [R23] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker EASIEST THING: I’ve downloaded a couple of pregnancy tracking apps and this one by far is the easiest to follow, log, and there seems to be so much to read up on with a lot of sources. Highly recommend!
- [R27] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Unintuitive and outdated: After going through the sign up flow, I deleted the app seconds after exploring the home page. Couldn’t find the most basic or common actions. Not easy to use for basic period tracking.
- [R2] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker NOT Suitable for irregular cycles: I do love the features of this app but it does not give me the option to accurately input my cycle days that are not on the average 28 day scale. I have to manually input my dates and do the separate math to make sure I have the right date tracking my pregnancy. If I put the right due date, it’s moved my LMP and date of conception to incorrect days. It is good f
- [R3] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Recent bug: I normally love this app for pregnancy! I love all the resources and timely information. Normally I love this app! There must have been a recent update because my app will no longer update my pregnancy or show any data on my main feed. I’ve tried to redownload the app and it’s not working. Bummer. I hope it gets fixed soon!
- [R6] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Major bugs lately: I used to like this app but I feel like I get a “something went wrong please retry” error >50% of the time I log in now. I’ve tried restarting the app and ensuring it’s up to date without any improvement. It’s disappointing.
- [R24] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Irregular Cycle: After awhile App fails Manual entry for period. It wants the ovulation tracked first.
- [R4] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker .: This app used to be amazing. Once they merged all the apps I lost everything. Only response I can get is I apparently I deleted my account and haven’t used it when it was used every month multiple times. Over 10 years of data gone with no explanation. UPDATE: I am blocked from Ovia support or just ignored. Proof is in the fact I have waited over a month, multiple emails sent, dms on socials,
- [R10] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker I lost everything: Honestly I loved the Ovia pregnancy app, I tracked my entire pregnancy on it! But I lost everything when they switched to this app. I am extremely upset about it.
- [R13] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Worst app EVER! They lost all my data!: Untrustworthy platform! DO NOT USE!!! They recently migrated all the Ovia Pregnancy data into Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker to combine the apps and decommission the Pregnancy app. The only notice in the Pregnancy app was that it was going away but no additional info for how the customer can ensure their data will migrate correctly nor an exact date. One day
- [R15] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Data transfer issues: Why doesn’t my previous data transfer over when I add a pregnancy? My previous periods are no longer on the calendar.
- [R21] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker It used to be so much better: I’ve used this app through 2 other pregnancies and 2 losses. Now they have merged ovulation and pregnancy together and I can’t even find the community to create posts with on the track pregnancy portion of the app. I reached out to support but no response.
- [R28] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Painful to set up and edit: While signing up, I tried to look up my employer- who is not listed but does participate in the program. Now it’s stuck in this loop, I can’t edit, customer service doesn’t respond- when I try to chat for help, there is no one there, it’s just a reply saying someone will reach out in 2 days. I wish I wasn’t required to even give 1 star.
- [R34] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker App: App doesn’t work properly. Received a newsletter in my email and the hyperlinks didn’t work. Unable to contact technical support. My job offers assessments through the app. I click on the link to do the assessments and it doesn’t work.
- [R26] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker 100 percent free: Been using for 10 + years. Never been asked for $. Entering new phase of life and wish it assisted with that as ALL OTHER APPS insist on $$$. Forever a subscriber. And recommended to all my female students.
- [R50] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Perfect companion in pregnancy!: I have been super impressed with the Ovia app, and I love how it provides me with useful and relevant information about me and my baby on a daily basis. The weekly growth tracker visuals are also helpful even if they’re a bit funny, and the app has such a cute customizable design! Truly Ovia has made me feel more empowered in pregnancy, and I’m so glad I went with
- [R61] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker gone downhill: the app CONSTANTLY has pop-up screens trying to force you to buy a paid subscription. it’s infuriating to open an app for what should be a 30 second entry and have it take more than twice as long due these greedy tactics.
- [R64] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker Ads to upgrade: Super annoying to get an ad pop up every second of using the app, an ad to upgrade to premium. Extremely excessive
- [R69] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker No I do not want to pay!: This is app is fine and easy to use. However don’t expect to track anything or press a single button without them asking you twice as many times as they need to for the “subscription” You’ll get asked almost every 10 seconds it feels like. Very very very annoying when I would just like to track my period. I don’t need all the bells and whistles yall are trying to suck ou
- [R76] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker Used Clue since I was in High School. It is much different today..: It has been 7 years since I downloaded this app. Never subscribed. I’m just disappointed with all the changes they’ve made. Why do you have a subscription popping up in my face EVERY time I open this app? It’s super annoying. Many people have made their frustrations clear, but Clue has not listened. Also the clue connect used t
- [R19] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Data from old app is gone: I used the calendar in the old Ovia app to track milestones in my last 2 pregnancies. I also recorded the amount of breast milk I pumped every day 9 months of postpartum. It’s all gone! I thought it would carry over to the new app. So disappointed!
