The clearest difference is price: Widget at Free against Visual Calendar's $0.99. Widget also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.6) and review sentiment (72% vs 57%). Visual Calendar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
