Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Derivative at none against Calculus's 1. Derivative also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Calculus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
