Yes, in part: the Clue app costs nothing to download and Clue says a free version will always be available, but Clue Plus is needed for predictions 12 months ahead, the full articles section, temperature charts, Clue Connect sharing, wearable syncing and the Conceive and Perimenopause modes. The US App Store lists Clue's subscriptions at $9.99 for 1 month, $24.99 or $49.99 for 6 months and $39.99 or $69.99 for 12 months; these are US App Store prices on October 30, 2026, and they may change.

Is Clue free?

Clue is free to download on iPhone and Android, and Clue says a free version of the app will always be available. Its site describes the free plan as essential cycle statistics and basic cycle predictions, and it tells you to create an account. Period tracking and Clue Tracking, the mode for people who don't bleed, each come in a free and a Plus version. The free Pregnancy mode tracks the week of pregnancy, the due date and a broad outline of the baby's development, while weekly insights, pregnancy-specific tracking and the articles need Clue Plus. Clue Conceive and Clue Perimenopause are part of Clue Plus. US reviews from 2025 and 2026 are split: some call the free version enough, while others say upgrade pop-ups appear throughout the app and that views they used to get for free, such as past cycles or pregnancy symptoms, now ask for a subscription. Clue's App Store text tells users not to treat the app as a contraceptive.

How much does Clue cost?

Clue Plus is Clue's paid tier, sold as a monthly or a yearly subscription. Clue says it adds predictions for periods, PMS and the fertile window up to 12 months ahead, cramps predictions, every article in the Content tab, extra analysis with flow and cramps charts, basal body temperature curves and full cycle overviews, calendar filters, Clue Connect for sharing your cycle with a partner, friend or relative, 10 more tracking categories, Premium Customer Care, Clue Conceive, the full Pregnancy mode, the Perimenopause mode and syncing with wearables such as Apple Watch, Oura, WHOOP, Withings and Fitbit. Clue says prices vary by region and calls its own website the cheapest route. The US App Store lists 1 Month at $9.99, 6 Months at $24.99 and $49.99 and 12 Months at $39.99 and $69.99, without saying who is offered which. Clue's cancellation page says a plan bought on a promotion renews at the full price, while its discount-code page tells you to read the terms shown at checkout. Clue Plus has been an HSA and FSA eligible expense since January 15, 2025. These are US App Store prices on October 30, 2026, and they may change.

Rivula or Clue: how they compare

Rivula, made by the AppHunt team, gives away several things Clue keeps for Clue Plus. Its modes for conceiving, pregnancy and perimenopause are free, and so are logging, a calendar with your cycle history, reminders, widgets, syncing with Apple Health and backups. Rivula predicts your next period, fertile window and ovulation as ranges that narrow as you log, without an account or ads, and the journal never leaves your iPhone unless you send it. Rivula Pro (pattern insights, temperature and LH charts, a PDF for your doctor) costs $29.99 a year, $5.99 a month or $59.99 once, and AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks it at apphunt.app/app/rivula-pro. Rivula is not contraception, doesn't diagnose anything, and its fertile-window and ovulation estimates are rough: Clue says its Conceive mode rests on an algorithm that Georgetown University researchers tested, and Rivula makes no such claim. Rivula is also much smaller: 20-plus symptoms, moods and your own tags where Clue lists 200-plus symptoms and experiences, no articles, no direct wearable syncing beyond Apple Health and Apple Watch wrist temperature, no Android version, no sync of its own between devices, and no ratings yet.

Clue: questions and answers

Is Clue free?

Yes, in part. The Clue app costs nothing to download, and Clue says a free version will always be available, with essential cycle statistics, basic predictions and a free version of its Pregnancy mode. Clue Plus, the subscription, adds predictions up to 12 months ahead, the full articles section, extra charts, Clue Connect sharing, wearable syncing and the Conceive and Perimenopause modes. Your data is kept if you cancel Plus.

How much does Clue cost?

The US App Store lists Clue's subscriptions at $9.99 for 1 month, $24.99 and $49.99 for 6 months, and $39.99 and $69.99 for 12 months, without saying who is offered which. Clue says the price depends on your region and calls signing up on helloclue.com its cheapest route. US prices on October 30, 2026; they may change.

Is there a Clue promo code?

AppHunt has no promo code for Clue. On October 30, 2026, helloclue.com advertised an exclusive web offer of 25% off Clue Plus, and Clue says it also issues discount codes, which are used when you buy on its website, and vouchers that grant a set period of free access. If you only need tracking, Rivula is free to use, and AppHunt has a promo code that unlocks Rivula Pro at apphunt.app/app/rivula-pro.

Does Clue have a free trial?

Sometimes. Clue says a yearly plan starts with a free trial and is charged when the trial ends, while a monthly plan or a purchase with a discount offer has no trial and is charged right away; the App Store text adds that unused trial time is lost if you buy a subscription. US reviewers describe a 7-day trial, and a few say they were charged anyway after canceling or as soon as they started, so cancel before it ends and check your Apple subscriptions afterward.

How do I cancel Clue Plus?

If you subscribed through the App Store, open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, choose Subscriptions, pick Clue, tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. Deleting the app or your Clue account doesn't cancel it. A plan bought on helloclue.com is handled by Clue's payment provider, Paddle, and Clue can't cancel App Store plans for you. Clue says you lose the premium features but keep your data, and refunds come from whoever took the payment, such as Apple.

What does Clue Plus, the premium version, include?

Per Clue's support center: predictions for periods, PMS and the fertile window up to 12 months ahead, cramps predictions, the full Content tab, extra Analysis tab charts including basal body temperature curves, calendar filters, Clue Connect, 10 more tracking categories, Premium Customer Care, Clue Conceive, the full Pregnancy mode, Perimenopause mode, and syncing with wearables such as Apple Watch, Oura, WHOOP, Withings, Garmin and Fitbit.

Is Clue a form of birth control?

No. Clue tells users in its App Store text not to treat it as a contraceptive, and its support center adds that neither Clue Conceive nor Period Tracking mode is effective in preventing pregnancy. Rivula isn't contraception either: its predictions are estimates, and it says never to use it to prevent pregnancy.

What is the best free alternative to Clue?

Rivula, a period and cycle tracker from the AppHunt team, is free to use with no account and no ads: ranges for your next period, fertile window and ovulation, reminders, widgets, Apple Health sync, and free modes for conceiving, pregnancy and perimenopause. Pro is optional, and AppHunt's promo code unlocks it. Rivula is iPhone-only, logs far fewer symptoms than Clue, has no articles, and doesn't diagnose; Clue is still the one to keep for detail, science-based reading or wearable data. Our list of free period trackers compares more options.
