Verdict
The clearest difference is price: US Calendar at Free against re's $1.99. US Calendar also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). re's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
