Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LockBox at none against XCalc Calculator's shown. LockBox also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). XCalc Calculator's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
