Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Micro Calculator at free against ShadowCalc's free with in-app purchases. Micro Calculator also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). ShadowCalc's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
