Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 妙计 at none against Shift Calendar's shown. 妙计 also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). Shift Calendar's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
