# AccountView vs GroupCal

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GroupCal at 79% against AccountView's 5%. GroupCal also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (868 vs 40). AccountView's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GroupCal sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. AccountView asks for nothing beyond the download.

GroupCal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GroupCal has 868 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 5% of AccountView's written reviews are positive against 79% of GroupCal's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
