# Michael vs Calify

The clearest difference is rating: Calify at 5.0 against Michael's 4.6. Calify also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Michael's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Michael sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Calify sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Calify holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Michael has 39 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Michael ships an update every 5 weeks, Calify fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
