Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Smart Calc+ at Free against Desktop Apps's $0.99. Smart Calc+ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). Desktop Apps's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.4). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
