Calmika helps families support autistic and neurodivergent children with calm, visual everyday tools. The app combines AAC communication boards, visual routines, first-then support, calm-down activities, social stories, coloring, music, learning games, and parent guidance in one child-friendly environment. Calmika is completely free and ad-free. All features are available without a subscription or in-app purchase. Calmika is built for predictable, low-pressure use: soft visuals, simple navigation, parent-gated settings, and a design focused on everyday family routines rather than ads or overstimulating rewards.

Dalira

Dalira helps autistic children get through the day with less stress, and helps families communicate with them. It combines the four tools parents and therapists use most, in one calm, ad-free app. VISUAL ROUTINES Turn mornings, school days and bedtime into clear picture steps. The "First / Then" board shows what is happening now and what comes next. Add your own photos to any step. Ready-made routines for doctor visits, haircuts, shopping and travel. TALK CARDS A simple communication board with core words, food, feelings, places and activities. Tap a card and the device speaks it aloud in your language. Build short sentences. Add cards with your own photos for family members, favourite toys and places. CALM CORNER A breathing circle, a visual countdown timer and a five-level feelings thermometer with a gentle tip for each level. Made for the moments when things get too much. PLAY & LEARN Find-the-pair memory, feelings faces and sort-by-colour games designed with clear, predictable rules. Results are saved so you can see progress. PROGRESS REPORT A weekly summary of routines completed and games played, ready to share with a teacher or therapist. PRIVACY FIRST No account, no ads, no analytics. Everything stays on your device. Settings and purchases are behind a parental gate. 8 LANGUAGES English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Arabic and Russian, including the spoken cards. Dalira is free to use with 3 routines, 30 custom cards and two games. Dalira Premium unlocks unlimited routines and cards, all games, premium templates and card packs, and the shareable report. Yearly, monthly and lifetime plans are available. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Dalira supports daily life and communication. It is not a medical treatment and does not replace professional therapy. Dalira Premium: Yearly (1 year) $39.99, Monthly (1 month) $7.99, Lifetime $99.99. Prices may vary by region.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dalira at every 3 days against Calmika's every 3 weeks. Calmika's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
