Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Linear Algebra Pro at 100% against SymCalc+'s 74%. Linear Algebra Pro also leads on price ($4.99 vs $9.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). SymCalc+'s advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
