# Calendars vs GoodTask

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Calendars at 122K against GoodTask's 2K. Calendars also leads on chart position (#103 vs unranked). GoodTask's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 55%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendars has 122K ratings behind it against 2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. 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 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
