Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DropControl at 4.4 against Techline Calculator's 3.1. DropControl also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Techline Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
