Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OBD JScan at 4.7 against Flashcal+'s 2.3. OBD JScan also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 6). Flashcal+'s advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
