Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CL650 CMS Crew Application at none against ACN/PCN Calculator's 26. CL650 CMS Crew Application also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.6). ACN/PCN Calculator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
