# TransferNow vs SimchaCal

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SimchaCal at 100% against TransferNow's 29%. SimchaCal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). TransferNow's advantage is ratings volume (198 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TransferNow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and SimchaCal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
