Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ElectriCalc Pro at 78% against Wire Phase's 20%. ElectriCalc Pro also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (4.9 vs 2.8). Wire Phase's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
