Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Calcula at none against Japanese Language Learning's 3. Calcula also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 16 months). Japanese Language Learning's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 26.0). On price there is nothing between them.
