# Shared Calendar vs MossLight

The clearest difference is price: Shared Calendar at Free against MossLight's $0.99. Shared Calendar also leads on ratings volume (124 vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). MossLight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Shared Calendar is free to download; MossLight costs $0.99 up front. Shared Calendar sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and MossLight sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MossLight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shared Calendar has 124 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
