# World Cal vs Snip

World Cal's advantage is ratings volume (315 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Cal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Snip sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
