Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Huelator at none against Basic Calculator's shown. Huelator also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Basic Calculator's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
