Planmore vs PlanWiz

Planmore

• iPhone and iPad users who like the layout of a paper planner
• Keeping events, tasks, Reminders and notes in a single app
• People who prefer a one-time purchase to a subscription

PlanWiz

• People who want a pre-built planner layout instead of a blank page
• iPad users who like to plan by hand with Apple Pencil
• Keeping a planner, habit tracker and journal in a single app

Planmore

• The vendor's page and store listing describe an iPhone and iPad app that syncs through iCloud; they mention no Android, web or Windows version.
• Agenda views, unlimited task lists, subtasks, shared task lists, stickers and schedule export are listed as advanced features that need an upgrade.
• The US App Store shows a $19.99 "Premium Version" purchase next to the $29.99 "Lifetime Subscription" without explaining the difference.
• The store description lists "No Ads" among the paid features, while the 4.8.7 release notes say banner and interstitial ads were removed for free users.

PlanWiz

• There is no web or Windows version. The Mac app requires macOS 12 and an Apple M1 chip or later.
• The website publishes no prices. Paid options appear only as in-app purchases in the app stores.
• The free tier covers part of the template library; the full library and advanced features need the paid upgrade.

Planmore

Planner-style calendar views

Day, week, month and year views that can be flipped through like a paper planner. Additional agenda views are part of the paid upgrade.

Events

Events can be given custom colors, recurrence rules and reminders, and other people can be invited to them.

Task manager

Tasks carry a due date, priority and reminder, and overdue and pending tasks are tracked in one place. Unlimited lists, subtasks and list sharing need the upgrade.

iOS Reminders

Items from Apple's Reminders app are shown inside the planner next to Planmore's own events and tasks.

Notes

Rich-text notes organized with custom labels. Adding more photos and canvases to a note is listed as an advanced feature.

Widgets and iCloud sync

Widgets show the schedule at a glance, and data syncs automatically between devices signed in to the same iCloud account.

PlanWiz

Template library

The website counts more than 1,000 planner and journal templates, covering daily and weekly planners, agendas, meal plans, study plans and more. Each can be edited after you pick it.

Daily, weekly and monthly planning

Plan a day hour by hour, a week at a glance or a month in one view, and switch between the timeframes.

To-do list with reminders

Capture tasks, set priorities and deadlines, attach notes and add a reminder to any individual task or habit check-in.

Habit tracker

Daily habit check-ins with streak tracking and a visual record of progress, built into the same planner layouts.

Journal and mood tracker

Daily journal entries, gratitude prompts and a mood log sit in the same app as the planner, so past entries can be reviewed for patterns.

Customization and export

Change fonts, colors, covers and layouts, add photos and stickers, and write by hand with Apple Pencil on iPad. Pages export as PDF or PNG for printing or sharing.
