# Tiny Calendar vs PlanPop

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PlanPop at none against Tiny Calendar's 10. PlanPop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Tiny Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 965) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Calendar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. PlanPop asks for nothing beyond the download.

PlanPop holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Calendar has 21K ratings behind it against 965, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Tiny Calendar's written reviews are positive against 89% of PlanPop's.

Tiny Calendar ships an update every 2 months, PlanPop daily. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
