Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Panecal Scientific Calculator at 2K against Tri's 1. Panecal Scientific Calculator also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Tri's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
