Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MD Calculator at Free against Clear Spaces's $2.99. MD Calculator also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.3) and review sentiment (60% vs 38%). Clear Spaces's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
