Flo Period & Pregnancy Tracker

Flo is the biggest period and pregnancy app in the world. 380M+ users. Free version tracks periods and ovulation with ads. Premium ($49.99/yr) removes ads and adds AI health assistant, video courses, symptom checker for PCOS/endometriosis/fibroids, and detailed pregnancy tracking. FSA/HSA eligible. It's the safe mainstream choice - not the most specialized at anything, but covers everything from first period to perimenopause.

You probably already have Flo. 380 million people do. It's the default period tracker the same way Google Maps is the default navigation app - not because it's the absolute best at any one thing, but because it covers everything well enough.

Free version: period and ovulation predictions, cycle calendar, health library with hundreds of articles. Has ads. Premium ($49.99/yr or $9.99/mo) removes ads and unlocks: personalized daily insights, expert-led video courses on fertility/pregnancy/birth, Symptom Checker for PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids, detailed pregnancy mode for every trimester, and a 24/7 AI Health Assistant.

The pregnancy mode is seamless - when you log a positive test, Flo transitions from cycle tracking to week-by-week pregnancy tracking with fetal development updates, symptom logging, and appointment reminders. That continuity is genuinely convenient vs switching to a separate pregnancy app.

New features include Perimenopause Score and Menopause Timeline for tracking that transition. Rare for a period app to cover the full reproductive lifespan.

FSA/HSA eligible, which is a nice perk if your employer plan supports it.

Compared to Clue ($39.99/yr), Flo has more content (courses, articles, community) but less scientific rigor in its branding. Clue is data-first. Flo is content-first. Compared to Ovia, Flo is consumer-focused while Ovia is employer-sponsored. Compared to Fertility Friend, Flo's fertility tracking is basic - if you're actively TTC with BBT charting, FF is far more powerful.

Privacy has been a concern - Flo settled with the FTC in 2021 over sharing health data with third parties. They've since introduced Anonymous Mode. Worth knowing.
