Both are free to download. Calendars sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GoodTask sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Calendars against 4.6 for GoodTask.

Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Calendars's written reviews are positive against 73% of GoodTask's.
Calendars ships an update every 11 days, GoodTask every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
