HarmoFlux vs Clue
Clue has a long-standing reputation for careful, science-led cycle tracking. HarmoFlux was built for a wider span of time. Here is the difference, stated plainly.
Clue is primarily a menstrual cycle tracking app, strongest at periods, cycle length and cycle-related symptoms. HarmoFlux is a lifecycle health-tracking app: first periods through postmenopause, with medication and supplement tracking, a 'how I felt after taking it' note, a doctor-ready PDF summary, browser and iPhone access, plans at $0, $1.99 and $4.99 per month, no ads and no sale of personal health data. Neither app is a medical device, and neither replaces a clinician.

What each app is built around
- Clue: menstrual cycle tracking, cycle-related symptom logging and educational content, centred on the cycling years.
- HarmoFlux: one continuous health history that stays useful when the reason for tracking changes β from early cycles through perimenopause, menopause and after.
Different jobs, not better and worse. If your question is about this cycle, a cycle app answers it well. If your question is what has been happening across the last six months and what you have been taking, that is the job HarmoFlux is built for.
Where HarmoFlux is different
- Life stages: the same record from first periods through the reproductive years, perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, with no migration when your stage changes.
- Medications and supplements: dose, timing and reminders, with supplements treated as first-class entries rather than an afterthought.
- 'How I felt after taking it': a short reflection attached to the entry, recorded as timing only, never as proof of cause.
- Doctor-ready summaries: a dated PDF assembled from your own entries, plus CSV export, on the Core plan.
- Browser access: full use in a modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone, as well as on iPhone.
- Pricing: free to start, $1.99/month Core, $4.99/month Plus, with no ads and no sale of personal health data.
Where Clue may suit you better
- You want a mature, heavily refined cycle-tracking interface with years of iteration behind it.
- You want in-app educational content written around the menstrual cycle specifically.
- You want fertility-window features. HarmoFlux deliberately does not offer fertility prediction, and its projected dates are calendar arithmetic that must never be used for contraception.
We would rather you pick the right tool than the one on this page.
How to compare them yourself
Both apps change. Rather than trusting a comparison page, including this one, check these at the moment you decide:
- Current subscription price in your country, and what the free tier actually includes.
- The privacy policy: whether health data is used for advertising, which third parties process it, and how long it is kept.
- Whether you can export your data and delete your account, and how long deletion takes.
- Whether the app still fits the life stage you expect to be in three years from now.
- Whether you can use it on the devices you actually have, including in a browser.
What neither app does
- Neither is a medical device, and neither diagnoses conditions.
- Neither can establish that a medication or supplement caused a symptom.
- Neither replaces a physician or pharmacist, and neither is an emergency service.
- HarmoFlux does not check interactions between medications or supplements.

Common questions
What is the difference between HarmoFlux and Clue?
Clue is a well-established cycle tracking app known for a clean, science-led approach to periods, cycles and cycle-related symptoms. HarmoFlux is built around one continuous health history across the whole hormonal lifecycle, and adds medication and supplement tracking, a note for how you felt after taking something, and a doctor-ready PDF summary. Check each app's current pricing and privacy policy before deciding.
Does Clue track medications and supplements?
Clue focuses on the cycle and on cycle-related symptoms. HarmoFlux records what you took, the dose, the time and a short reflection on how you felt afterwards, including supplements. Confirm each app's current feature list on its own site, because both change.
Which app is cheaper?
HarmoFlux has a free plan, a Core plan at $1.99 per month and a Plus plan at $4.99 per month. Clue publishes its own subscription pricing, which varies by region and promotion, so compare it at the moment you subscribe.
Can I use HarmoFlux in a browser?
Yes. HarmoFlux runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone, and there is an iPhone app. If browser access matters to you, check whether the other apps on your shortlist offer it.
Is either app a medical device?
No. Neither HarmoFlux nor Clue is a medical device, neither diagnoses conditions, and neither replaces a clinician. Both are records you keep; what you do with the record is a conversation for a healthcare professional.
