# AppClose vs Kidtime Coparenting Calendar

The clearest difference is rating: AppClose at 4.7 against Kidtime Coparenting Calendar's 4.3. AppClose also leads on ratings volume (39K vs 413) and chart position (#51 vs unranked). Kidtime Coparenting Calendar's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (23% vs 13%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppClose sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Kidtime Coparenting Calendar sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AppClose holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppClose has 39K ratings behind it against 413, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of AppClose's written reviews are positive against 23% of Kidtime Coparenting Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AppClose ships an update monthly, Kidtime Coparenting Calendar every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
