Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Calculator Quest at none against Color Spin's 2. Calculator Quest also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 40%). Color Spin's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
