Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Calculator‰ at 4.9 against Notepad's 2.7. Calculator‰ also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 41%) and ratings volume (409K vs 10). Notepad's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
