Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EOTC Calendar at 100% against Ge'ez's 50%. EOTC Calendar also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Ge'ez's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
