Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Calculator Plus Pro at 4.9 against Essential Calculator's 4.0. Calculator Plus Pro also leads on ratings volume (35 vs 8).

Both are free to download. Calculator Plus Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Essential Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Calculator Plus Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 35 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Essential Calculator's written reviews are positive against 36% of Calculator Plus Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
