# FirstSeed Calendar vs HyFlow

FirstSeed Calendar's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 59%) and ratings volume (335 vs 10). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FirstSeed Calendar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HyFlow sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
