# Progress vs Progress Bar Calendar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Progress at 80% against Progress Bar Calendar's 0%. Progress also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (871 vs 1). Progress Bar Calendar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Progress sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Progress Bar Calendar sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Progress holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Progress has 871 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Progress's written reviews are positive against 0% of Progress Bar Calendar's.
