# The Calving Book Plus vs Calf Tracker Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Calf Tracker Pro at 5.0 against The Calving Book Plus's 2.9. Calf Tracker Pro also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). The Calving Book Plus's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Calving Book Plus sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per year and Calf Tracker Pro sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Calf Tracker Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Calving Book Plus has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Calving Book Plus ships an update every 5 weeks, Calf Tracker Pro every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
