MegaCalendar edges out Blog Post Calendar Widget on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to MegaCalendar; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Blog Post Calendar Widget's 8-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than MegaCalendar's broader-but-shallower coverage.
