# Trickcal vs Luklar

The clearest difference is rating: Trickcal at 4.8 against Luklar's 4.3. Trickcal also leads on ratings volume (968 vs 3) and review sentiment (90% vs 67%). Luklar's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trickcal sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Luklar sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
