# Smoking vs QuickCal

The clearest difference is ads: QuickCal at none against Smoking's shown. QuickCal also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Smoking's advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smoking sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QuickCal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QuickCal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smoking has 69 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Smoking's written reviews are positive against 100% of QuickCal's.

Smoking ships an update every 3 months, QuickCal daily. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
