Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Calculator mini at Free against DayCalc Pro's $0.99. Calculator mini also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). DayCalc Pro's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (176 vs 5). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Calculator mini is free to download; DayCalc Pro costs $0.99 up front. DayCalc Pro sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Calculator mini sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DayCalc Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayCalc Pro has 176 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of DayCalc Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Calculator mini's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DayCalc Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, Calculator mini every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
