The rows about Reemi come from its own App Store listing, read in September 2026, and from its update date. Where a cell says Not stated, I could not confirm it without installing. Ratings, prices and update dates were checked again in the US App Store on 15 October 2026. Ciao!’s prices here are the euro ones. The App Store shows yours before you confirm. Nothing here is taken from another app’s reviews.

Where Reemi wins
- It is free.
- It is small and does one thing.
- If it is already on your phone and working, you can stay.
Where Ciao! wins
- It is still being made. The last update was in October 2026.
- On Sunday, a deck of cards to swipe with everyone who is due, instead of a list.
- A little animal for each friend, whose face shows how long it has been.
