Due is an Apple-only reminder app, bought once, that keeps nagging you with auto-snooze until you mark a reminder done. Buzzley is a subscription reminder app for Android, iPhone and the web, with alarm-style reminders, location triggers and reminders for family members. If everyone in your life uses an iPhone and you want a reminder that won't stop until it is done, Due is a strong pick. If you use Android, share a household with mixed phones, or want reminders tied to places, Due can't help and Buzzley can.

Where Due is stronger
You pay once. $7.99 and the app is yours, with an optional $4.99 yearly pass. Buzzley is a subscription with no free tier.
It nags until you are done. Due's auto-snooze brings a reminder back again and again until you complete it. That is its core idea. Buzzley's Alarm style rings until you snooze, finish or dismiss it (on Android, if nobody opens the ring screen, it goes quiet after 10 minutes and rings again 5 minutes later by default, for up to an hour), but it does not keep returning after a dismissal.
Made for Apple devices. Due is built only for Apple's platforms. If you never leave them, you lose nothing by that.
Where Buzzley is stronger
Android and the web. Due has no Android app. Buzzley runs on Android and iPhone and syncs with a web app you can use on any computer to add, edit and complete reminders. If you switch phones later, your reminders come with you.
Alarms on Android. On an Android phone, Buzzley's Alarm style fills the lock screen, plays on the alarm channel and rings through silent mode and Do Not Disturb, with rising volume and an option to read the reminder aloud. It also rings after the phone restarts, even before you enter your PIN. See reminders that ring like an alarm.
Location reminders. Remind yourself when you arrive at the gym or leave work. Due has no location reminders.
Reminders for other people. In a Buzzley sharing group, set a reminder that rings only on your partner's or parent's phone. If it isn't done 15 minutes to 2 hours after it was due, the people you picked are told. This works across Android and iPhone in the same group.
Automation. On Pro, an API and webhooks connect your reminders to other tools.
When Due is the better pick
Pick Due if you only use Apple devices, prefer to pay once instead of every year, and the feature you care about most is a reminder that keeps coming back until you mark it done. That is what Due was built for, and Buzzley does not repeat after a dismissal.
Pick Buzzley if you have an Android phone, live with people on different phones, or want location reminders and family alerts. If you are on iPhone and weighing the free built-in app too, read Buzzley vs Apple Reminders. For another cross-platform alarm app, see Buzzley vs Galarm.
Common questions
Is there a Due app for Android?
No. As of October 2026 Due is available for Apple devices only.
Does Buzzley ring on an iPhone that is on silent?
On iOS 26 and later, yes: Alarm-style reminders use Apple's alarm system and ring through silent mode and Focus once you allow alarms for Buzzley. On older iOS versions they arrive as notifications, which silent mode can mute.
Can I try Buzzley first?
Yes, for 7 days with every Plus feature and no card. The plans are on the pricing page.
