Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Calendar+ at Free against RowCounter's $0.99. Calendar+ also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). RowCounter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
