# BetterCalendar vs Post

The clearest difference is rating: Post at 5.0 against BetterCalendar's 4.5. Post also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). BetterCalendar's advantage is ratings volume (101 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BetterCalendar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Post sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Post holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BetterCalendar has 101 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of BetterCalendar's written reviews are positive against 100% of Post's.

BetterCalendar ships an update every 2 weeks, Post every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
