calYc uses the four basic arithmetic operations and defined number ranges to set arithmetic problems. The level of difficulty is determined by selectable symbols (hatching chick, standing chick, etc.). If a selected symbol is chosen again, further application-related information (e.g., number ranges) and settings (e.g., time, sounds, multiplication tables) become available. If the time measurement is set, a maximum of 20 seconds is added for solutions at the most difficult level and a maximum of 10 seconds for solutions at other levels.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: calYc at none against Math 24's 4. calYc also leads on ads (none vs shown). Math 24's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 20 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
