Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SciCalc at Free against Phone Drive Pro's $4.99. SciCalc also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Phone Drive Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
