Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KRG Calendar at 4.3 against Kurdish Keyboard's 4.0. Kurdish Keyboard's advantage is ratings volume (313 vs 15) and review sentiment (68% vs 57%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KRG Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kurdish Keyboard has 313 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Kurdish Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 57% of KRG Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kurdish Keyboard ships an update every 10 days, KRG Calendar every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
