# Vertical Planner vs Vertical Calendar

The clearest difference is rating: Vertical Calendar at 5.0 against Vertical Planner's 4.3. Vertical Calendar also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Vertical Planner's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vertical Planner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Vertical Calendar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vertical Calendar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vertical Planner has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Vertical Planner ships an update fortnightly, Vertical Calendar weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
