Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Calendars at free with in-app purchases against Tiny Calendar's subscription. Calendars also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). Tiny Calendar's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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 Calendars sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
