# Watch Calendar vs Loopy

The clearest difference is price: Loopy at Free against Watch Calendar's $5.99. Loopy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). Watch Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (126 vs 2) and chart position (#112 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Loopy is free to download; Watch Calendar costs $5.99 up front. Watch Calendar sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Loopy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loopy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Watch Calendar has 126 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Watch Calendar's written reviews are positive against 100% of Loopy's.

Watch Calendar ships an update every 6 weeks, Loopy every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
