# Tiny Calendar vs Cloud Calendars

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cloud Calendars at freemium against Tiny Calendar's subscription. Cloud Calendars 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 9) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating and in-app purchases 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 Cloud Calendars sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Calendar has 21K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tiny Calendar ships an update every 2 months, Cloud Calendars every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
