Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Calculator + at Free against Trigonometry Help's $1.99. Calculator + also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 477). Trigonometry Help's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
