Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Flashcal+ at free against sPOD Bantam's free with in-app purchases. Flashcal+ also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 28%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). sPOD Bantam's advantage is rating (2.6 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (61 vs 6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

sPOD Bantam holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sPOD Bantam has 61 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of sPOD Bantam's written reviews are positive against 50% of Flashcal+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

sPOD Bantam ships an update every 3 months, Flashcal+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
