# Solid Calendar vs TimeGuide

Solid Calendar and TimeGuide both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of TimeGuide's written reviews are positive against 79% of Solid Calendar's. TimeGuide also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Solid Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (120 vs 5). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solid Calendar sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and TimeGuide sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.9 for Solid Calendar against 5.0 for TimeGuide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solid Calendar has 120 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Solid Calendar's written reviews are positive against 100% of TimeGuide's.

Solid Calendar ships an update fortnightly, TimeGuide every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
