Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Roste at none against 生活日历's 3. Roste also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 生活日历's advantage is ratings volume (511 vs 8). On price and rating there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 生活日历 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Roste asks for nothing beyond the download.
生活日历 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 生活日历 has 511 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of 生活日历's written reviews are positive against 100% of Roste's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
生活日历 ships an update every 2 months, Roste every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
