Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Calendar Widget at 4.5 against MiniMonth's 3.9. Calendar Widget also leads on ratings volume (236 vs 20). MiniMonth's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Calendar Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendar Widget has 236 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of MiniMonth's written reviews are positive against 58% of Calendar Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MiniMonth ships an update every 4 months, Calendar Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
