Overview
Flo in Premom služita prekrivajočim se, a različnim občinstvom. Flo je splošni spremljevalec menstruacije in zdravja — najbolj priljubljen na svetu z 440 milijoni uporabnikov. Premom se osredotoča posebej na plodnost, priljubljen je v skupnosti, ki poskuša zanositi (TTC), zaradi svoje sposobnosti fotografiranja in analize testnih trakov za napoved ovulacije (OPK).
Flo ponuja široko paleto: 70+ simptomov, zdravstveni chatbot, skupnostne forume, vsebine o nosečnosti in članke medicinskih strokovnjakov. Premom ponuja osredotočen komplet orodij za plodnost: branje OPK trakov, grafikon BBT in napovedi ciklov, zasnovane za uporabnike, ki aktivno poskušajo zanositi.
Kar žal delita, je zgodovina kršitev zasebnosti. Obe aplikaciji sta bili predmet zveznih izvršilnih ukrepov zaradi deljenja podatkov o reproduktivnem zdravju brez soglasja uporabnikov. Za uporabnike, ki se odločajo med njima, najpomembnejša funkcija ni v nobeni aplikaciji — gre za to, ali vaši podatki o plodnosti ostanejo zasebni.
Privacy comparison
Flo and Premom represent the two most documented cases of period/fertility app privacy failure in the United States.
Flo's violations span years. The FTC alleged in 2021 that Flo shared menstrual data with Google, Facebook, and Flurry Analytics; Flo settled with no fine and no admission. A class action settled in 2025, with Google paying $48M and Flo $8M. A California jury found Meta liable for eavesdropping on Flo users' data.
Premom's violations are arguably more alarming because of where the data went. In May 2023, the FTC charged Premom's developer, Easy Healthcare, with sharing fertility data — including ovulation test results — with Google, AppsFlyer, and critically, two China-based firms: Umeng (Alibaba subsidiary) and Jiguang (Aurora Mobile). The data sharing was undisclosed, and Easy Healthcare violated the Health Breach Notification Rule by failing to notify users.
Both apps now operate under federal consent orders. But the architectural vulnerability remains: both store data in the cloud, both require accounts, and both have proven willing to share data with third parties.
PinkyBloom has no ads, no data brokers, and never sells your data. Your fertility log is stored on your phone, not in an account on our servers.
Features and intelligence
Flo ima širši nabor funkcij: AI chatbot, 70+ simptomov, skupnostne forume, način nosečnosti in tisoče člankov. To je zdravstvena platforma, ne le spremljevalec.
Premomova izstopajoča funkcija je njen bralnik testnih trakov OPK — fotografirajte testni trak za ovulacijo in pridobite branje, podprto z AI. Za skupnost TTC je to resnično koristno in zmanjšuje ugibanje pri interpretaciji šibkih črt. Poleg branja OPK, Premom ponuja grafikon BBT in osnovne napovedi ciklov.
PinkyBloom ne ponuja fotografiranja OPK trakov, vendar v vseh drugih dimenzijah presega obe aplikaciji. Glasovno beleženje pomeni, da lahko rečete "pozitiven OPK danes" namesto navigacije po menijih aplikacije. AI napovedi razpoloženja napovedujejo čustvene vzorce. Generator poročil o obisku zdravnika ustvarja profesionalne povzetke za posvetovanja o plodnosti — funkcija, ki je ne ponujata niti Flo niti Premom.
Pricing comparison
Both Flo and Premom charge approximately $49.99/year for premium features. Both have ad-supported free tiers. Over five years, either app costs roughly $250 — for apps that have been caught sharing your fertility data with third parties.
PinkyBloom is free. No ads. The five-year cost is $0. For the TTC community, where users track their most sensitive fertility data daily, the combination of better features and no ads makes PinkyBloom the clear choice.
There's a better option
Both Flo and Premom have federal enforcement actions for sharing fertility data without consent. PinkyBloom never sells your data and has no ads. Better AI than Flo, voice-based OPK logging instead of Premom's camera.
