# Calendar vs ChoreStar

The clearest difference is rating: ChoreStar at 5.0 against Calendar's 4.6. ChoreStar also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Calendar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ChoreStar sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ChoreStar 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 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Calendar ships an update every 5 weeks, ChoreStar every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
