Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Calendar at none against Weekly Planner's 11. Calendar also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.0). Weekly Planner's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 28) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekly Planner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Calendar asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weekly Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly Planner has 15K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Weekly Planner's written reviews are positive against 75% of Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Weekly Planner ships an update every 3 weeks, Calendar weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
