Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Trick Ski Calc at free against Ikon Pass's free with in-app purchases. Trick Ski Calc also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Ikon Pass's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 5) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
