The Calgary Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Thrombosis's written reviews are positive against 67% of The Calgary Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Thrombosis ships an update every 5 months, The Calgary Guide every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
