Verdict
Tiny Calendar and Google Calendar both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Tiny Calendar's written reviews are positive against 35% of Google Calendar's. Tiny Calendar also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Google Calendar's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
