Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SimpleCal at Free against Tiny Calendar Pro's $19.99. SimpleCal also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (18K vs 2.4K). Tiny Calendar Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
