Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MakeCalc at none against Timelines Plus's 1. MakeCalc also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Timelines Plus's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
