Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Supercal Calendar at 50% against Basic Calendar's 0%. Supercal Calendar also leads on ratings volume (50 vs 5). Basic Calendar's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Basic Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supercal Calendar has 50 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Supercal Calendar's written reviews are positive against 0% of Basic Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
