How we grade them
| 2.2GPABusiness Calendar 2Fair | 2.0GPASimple Calendar ProFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThere's no price to judge. Appgenix's own site names no figure for Pro, and Google Play lists in-app purchases from $1.49 to $8.99 per item without saying what period or what feature any of them buys, so you can't tell what you'd end up paying. Play Pass subscribers get it all. | A$2.99 one-time, well under a year of the $8 middle calendar subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe free app has all six views, the seven widgets, 5 reminders an event, voice input and Google Tasks sync. It carries ads, and templates, drag and drop, attachments and print to PDF are all on the other side of Pro. | FNo free version of this app and no trial; the vendor's free app is a separate listing with ads. |
| Features | CSix views, a week that stretches from 1 to 14 days, a year view heat-mapping busy days, seven widgets with 50-odd options, and tasks beside events. That's a smaller job than this category's, and templates, drag and drop and multi-selection all wait for Pro. | COffline calendar with views, events, reminders and import and export. It does that fully and it is a smaller job: no booking or team features. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, and nothing asked of you: it reads whatever calendars Android already syncs, so no account to make and nothing to import. You can speak an event in English, German, French or Japanese. | BNo rating counted, but it is install and start with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | DOne operating system. Android, which does stretch to Chromebooks and Wear OS watches, but there's no iOS, desktop or web app listed at all. It reads Google, Outlook, Exchange and CalDAV accounts through the phone. | DAndroid only, with CalDAV, Google, Outlook, Nextcloud and Exchange sync. |
| Best for | Android users who want more views and widgets | an offline calendar on Android |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
