Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Calendar at 76% against Calendar's 37%. Tiny Calendar also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Calendar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendar has 1.5M ratings behind it against 21K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Tiny Calendar's written reviews are positive against 37% of Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tiny Calendar ships an update every 2 months, Calendar every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
