Clue publishes a single plan, Clue Plus at $9.99/month. There is no smaller tier to drop to if the fit is wrong or the budget moves.

Cheaper ways to solve the same problem
What you would be giving up
Clue is most often brought in for someone specifically weighing data jurisdiction and legal exposure when choosing a period tracking app, given clues eu basis and published stance on law enforcement requests, a user who wants cycle tracking positioned around scientific research partnerships rather than lifestyle or community content, a buyer comparing clue directly against flo on current published privacy policy language before choosing which app to trust, someone tracking perimenopause or other non-standard cycle stages that some period apps do not support well. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Clue is broadly right and the question is cost, the Clue pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Healthcare category lists everything the directory holds, and best healthcare tools ranks them.
Clue runs on ios, android. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
