Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YearViewer at none against Tiny Calendar's 10. YearViewer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Tiny Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

YearViewer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Calendar has 21K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of YearViewer's written reviews are positive against 76% of Tiny Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

YearViewer ships an update every 5 months, Tiny Calendar every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
