Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mathway at Free against GraphNCalc84's $9.99. Mathway also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (425K vs 1). GraphNCalc84's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
