# Tiny Calendar vs Date Today

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Calendar at 77% against Date Today's 33%. Tiny Calendar also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (21K vs 26). Date Today's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Calendar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and Date Today sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Calendar has 21K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Tiny Calendar's written reviews are positive against 33% of Date Today's.

Tiny Calendar ships an update every 2 months, Date Today every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
