Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CapacitorCalc at $0.99 against KnowledgeBase Builder's $8.99. CapacitorCalc also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). KnowledgeBase Builder's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
