Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Calendars at 4.7 against GamePlan's 4.1. Calendars also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Calendars sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GamePlan sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Calendars holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendars has 122K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Calendars's written reviews are positive against 57% of GamePlan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Calendars ships an update every 11 days, GamePlan every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
