# Tiny Calendar vs 简约日历

The clearest difference is rating: 简约日历 at 4.8 against Tiny Calendar's 4.1. 简约日历 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and ratings volume (95 vs 7). Tiny Calendar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 简约日历 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Tiny Calendar asks for nothing beyond the download.

简约日历 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 简约日历 has 95 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Tiny Calendar's written reviews are positive against 100% of 简约日历's.

Tiny Calendar ships an update every 8 days, 简约日历 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
