# Calendars vs Listberry

Calendars and Listberry both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Listberry's written reviews are positive against 56% of Calendars's. Listberry also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.2). Calendars's advantage is ratings volume (123K vs 302) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Calendars sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Listberry sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 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 4.8 for Listberry. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendars has 123K ratings behind it against 302, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Calendars's written reviews are positive against 92% of Listberry's.
