Verdict
The clearest difference is price: calQuery at Free against shift calendar pro's $1.99. calQuery also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). shift calendar pro's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
