Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sorted³ at free with in-app purchases against Tiny Calendar's subscription. Sorted³ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Tiny Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 4.1K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
