Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Page Calendar at none against Whenever's 1. Page Calendar also leads on ratings volume (153 vs 23). Whenever's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
