# Occasions vs Wedding

The clearest difference is rating: Wedding at 5.0 against Occasions's 3.7. Wedding also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). Occasions's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Occasions sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Wedding sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wedding holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Occasions has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Occasions's written reviews are positive against 54% of Wedding's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Occasions ships an update every 2 months, Wedding every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
