Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Resistor AI Calculator at none against EngKit's 1. Resistor AI Calculator also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.1). EngKit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
