Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OPAS Calendar at 1.7 against Pharos Print's 1.3. OPAS Calendar also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Pharos Print's advantage is ratings volume (240 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OPAS Calendar holds the better App Store score, 1.7 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pharos Print has 240 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of OPAS Calendar's written reviews are positive against 8% of Pharos Print's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OPAS Calendar ships an update monthly, Pharos Print every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
