# Sessions vs LockScreen Calendar

The clearest difference is rating: LockScreen Calendar at 5.0 against Sessions's 4.1. Sessions's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sessions sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and LockScreen Calendar sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LockScreen Calendar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sessions has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sessions ships an update every 5 days, LockScreen Calendar every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
