Choose Flo if

  • You're tracking fertility or trying to conceive.
  • Your cycles are still regular and prediction is what you want.
  • You want one app that covers every life stage broadly.

Choose Menovia if

  • Your cycles have gone unpredictable — or stopped.
  • You need to show a clinician a pattern, not a prediction.
  • You're weighing or adjusting HRT and want to see if it's working.
  • You want answers about hot flashes and brain fog, not ovulation windows.
