# Chap vs Shared Calendar

The clearest difference is rating: Shared Calendar at 5.0 against Chap's 4.5. Shared Calendar also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Chap's advantage is ratings volume (285 vs 7) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chap sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Shared Calendar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shared Calendar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chap has 285 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Chap's written reviews are positive against 64% of Shared Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Chap ships an update fortnightly, Shared Calendar weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
