How we grade them
| 2.8GPACalenGooGood | 2.0GPASimple Calendar ProFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A$5.99 once on Android and $6.99 once on iPhone. This category's middle subscription is $6 a month, so you're paying about one month of the usual rate and then nothing. The desktop app is the dear one at $49.99, and each version is bought separately. | A$2.99 one-time, well under a year of the $8 middle calendar subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free version. The Android trial is 72 hours, which is barely a weekend, and no iPhone trial is listed at all, so on an iPhone you pay first. The desktop download can be tried before buying. | FNo free version of this app and no trial; the vendor's free app is a separate listing with ads. |
| Features | BDay, week, month, agenda and year views, Google Tasks on their due dates, event templates, floating events that roll forward until done, and up to five reminders an event by SMS, email or pop-up. The desktop app adds contacts and an email client. That's the whole job. | 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 | B4.6 from about 300 App Store ratings, which is the bare minimum number we'll count. And with nearly every part of the display adjustable, there's a lot of settings between you and the calendar you wanted. | BNo rating counted, but it is install and start with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BiPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux, syncing with Google, iCloud, Exchange and CalDAV servers such as Nextcloud. No web version and no API, and Linux support depends on your distribution. | DAndroid only, with CalDAV, Google, Outlook, Nextcloud and Exchange sync. |
| Best for | tinkerers who want to pay once | an offline calendar on Android |

More comparisons
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.
