# Calendars vs TimeFinder

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Calendars at 122K against TimeFinder's 1.9K. Calendars also leads on chart position (#117 vs unranked). TimeFinder's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 55%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Calendars sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TimeFinder sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 4.6 for TimeFinder. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendars has 122K ratings behind it against 1.9K, 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 71% of TimeFinder's.

Calendars ships an update every 11 days, TimeFinder every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
