Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GroupCal at 4.7 against KobCard's 4.0. GroupCal also leads on ratings volume (799 vs 62). KobCard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GroupCal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GroupCal has 799 ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of GroupCal's written reviews are positive against 83% of KobCard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GroupCal ships an update fortnightly, KobCard every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
