Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: El Segundo Connect at 3.7 against PlanIt Schedule's 2.6. PlanIt Schedule's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (20% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
El Segundo Connect holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlanIt Schedule has 62 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of PlanIt Schedule's written reviews are positive against 0% of El Segundo Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PlanIt Schedule ships an update every 3 months, El Segundo Connect every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
