Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Calculator + at 85% against AirMicroPad's 33%. Calculator + also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). AirMicroPad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
