# Calendars vs Weekly Planner

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Weekly Planner at none against Calendars's 20. Weekly Planner also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). Calendars's advantage is ratings volume (122K vs 5) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). 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. Weekly Planner asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Calendars against 4.8 for Weekly Planner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendars has 122K ratings behind it against 5, 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 Weekly Planner's.

Calendars ships an update every 11 days, Weekly Planner every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
