# Planmore vs WidgetCal

The clearest difference is update cadence: Planmore at every 3 weeks against WidgetCal's every 32 months. Planmore also leads on ratings volume (5K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). WidgetCal's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planmore sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and WidgetCal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WidgetCal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planmore has 5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Planmore ships an update every 3 weeks, WidgetCal every 32 months. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
