# Cal Plus vs MacroLog

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cal Plus at 1.6K against MacroLog's 3. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cal Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and MacroLog sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MacroLog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cal Plus has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
