Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ackmove at none against Basic Calculator's 1. Ackmove also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). Basic Calculator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
