Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Shared Calendar at 5.0 against Calendar's 4.6. Shared Calendar also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Calendar's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 64%) and ratings volume (35 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Calendar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shared Calendar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendar has 35 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Calendar'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calendar ships an update every 5 weeks, Shared Calendar weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
