Verdict
The clearest difference is price: calQuery at Free against Range's $1.99. calQuery also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 26.0). Range's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and device support (6 vs 3). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
