Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Taska Loop at none against PocketLife Calendar's shown. Taska Loop also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). PocketLife Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (42K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
