Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Google Calendar at Free against Schedule's $6.99. Google Calendar also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (133K vs 13). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Google Calendar is free to download; Schedule costs $6.99 up front. Google Calendar sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and Schedule sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Google Calendar against 4.6 for Schedule. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Calendar has 133K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Google Calendar ships an update weekly, Schedule every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
