Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Page Calendar at Free against Write2Buy's $0.99. Page Calendar also leads on ratings volume (154 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months). Write2Buy's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
