Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CalcBC Formulas at none against Derivative's shown. CalcBC Formulas also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Derivative's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 35 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
