Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 日历DIY at none against NowCal's shown. 日历DIY also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). NowCal's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
