# Universalis vs Liturgy Calendar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Universalis at 94% against Liturgy Calendar's 50%. Universalis also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (9.7K vs 3). Liturgy Calendar's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $9.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 11). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Universalis costs $9.99 and Liturgy Calendar $1.99 up front. Universalis sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Liturgy Calendar asks for nothing beyond the download.

Universalis holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.3.

Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Universalis's written reviews are positive against 50% of Liturgy Calendar's.
