# HiCal vs Structured

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HiCal at none against Structured's 17. HiCal also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Structured's advantage is ratings volume (168K vs 25) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Structured sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. HiCal asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for HiCal against 4.8 for Structured. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Structured has 168K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of HiCal's written reviews are positive against 78% of Structured's.

HiCal ships an update every 2 months, Structured every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
