Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Shared Calendar at Free against MossLight's $0.99. Shared Calendar also leads on ratings volume (124 vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). MossLight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
