# PocketLife Calendar vs Taska Loop

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.

Both are free to download. PocketLife Calendar sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and Taska Loop sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
