How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A$3.99 once on iPhone and iPad, with no in-app purchases after that. A typical planner charges about $8 every month. On Android the app is free, with optional extras from $1.99 to $99.99 that the Play listing doesn't itemise. | BThe app is free to install, and the premium licence is an in-app purchase. Google Play gives only a range, $2.99 to $49.99 per item, with no word on what each one covers or how it's billed. So we can't tell you what paying gets you. |
| Free plan and trial | BOn Android it's free to install, with the dial, a home screen widget and three widget themes. What the paid extras unlock isn't spelled out. On iPhone there's nothing free at all: it's $3.99 before you see it. | BFree to download from Google Play, and you can plan with it. But neither the listing nor the help site says which features are kept back for the premium licence, so you'll find the edges as you go. |
| Features | BIt does one thing and does it fully: a 12 or 24-hour dial with countdowns, the gaps between events, a home screen widget and a Wear OS app. But it only shows what's already on your calendar, it isn't a to-do list, and Outlook support is still marked beta. | BIt does one thing and does it fully: blocks with start and end times, templates covering one or more days, a template calendar, reminders with their own sound and message, and charts of where your hours went. No tasks, by design, and the Schedule shows only 30 days ahead. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is our ceiling. There's very little to set up, since it reads the calendars already on your phone. If you can read a clock, you can read this. | BThere's no App Store rating to go on, since it isn't on iPhone, so a B is our ceiling. Blocks and templates are simple ideas, and the help site has a basic guide to get you going. |
| Platforms and integrations | CAndroid phones, iPhone and iPad, plus Wear OS watches on the Android side. That's it: no web or desktop version. It reads Google Calendar and your device's own calendars, with Outlook in beta. | DAndroid only. The Play listing and the help site mention no iPhone, web or desktop version. It does link to Google Calendar, and it backs up to Google Drive. |

Worth knowing
Sectograph
- It is not a to-do list. Its Google Play listing describes it as a planner that visualizes what is already on your calendar.
- The Android app is free with in-app purchases the listing does not itemize, while the iOS app costs $3.99 up front.
- Outlook calendar support is labelled beta on Android, and there is no web or desktop version.
- The vendor's website is a single page with store links, so feature and price details come from the store listings.
TimeTune
- The Google Play listing and help site describe an Android app. They mention no iOS, web or desktop version.
- The vendor's FAQ says TimeTune is neither a calendar app nor a to-do app: it manages time, not tasks.
- The Schedule section shows only 30 days ahead, although blocks and templates can be planned for any date.
- Premium pricing is published only as a Google Play range of $2.99 to $49.99 per item, without a list of what each purchase covers.

- Reads existing calendars
- On Android it reads Google Calendar and the device's local calendars. Microsoft Outlook calendar support is labelled beta.
