# SHAREit vs SL Calendar

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SL Calendar at none against SHAREit's 10. SL Calendar also leads on ads (none vs shown). SHAREit's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (151K vs 52). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SHAREit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. SL Calendar asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for SHAREit against 4.5 for SL Calendar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHAREit has 151K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two.
