Calendar Widget & Planner's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 5) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calendar Widget & Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendar Widget & Planner has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Calendar Widget & Planner's written reviews are positive against 78% of Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calendar Widget & Planner ships an update monthly, Calculator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
