Both are free to download. Time Calendar, Event, Task sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Layered sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Layered holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Calendar, Event, Task has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Time Calendar, Event, Task's written reviews are positive against 67% of Layered's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Time Calendar, Event, Task ships an update every 4 days, Layered every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
