Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Calendar Widget at none against Date Today's 1. Calendar Widget also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (58% vs 29%). Date Today's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
