# Convert Date vs AlShamel Calendar

The clearest difference is ads: Convert Date at none against AlShamel Calendar's shown. Convert Date also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 56%) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). AlShamel Calendar's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Convert Date sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AlShamel Calendar sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AlShamel Calendar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Convert Date has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Convert Date's written reviews are positive against 56% of AlShamel Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Convert Date ships an update every 6 months, AlShamel Calendar every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
