Verdict
Russian Orthodox Calendar and Православный календарь+ both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Православный календарь+'s written reviews are positive against 56% of Russian Orthodox Calendar's. Православный календарь+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Russian Orthodox Calendar's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
