# Week Calendar vs Weekly Planner

The clearest difference is ads: Weekly Planner at none against Week Calendar's shown. Weekly Planner also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (70% vs 59%). Week Calendar's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (5 vs 2).

Both are free to download. Week Calendar sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Weekly Planner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
