Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Yahoo Search at Free against Custom Calculator's $0.99. Yahoo Search also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). Custom Calculator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
