Verdict

The call

Calculator and iCalc both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of iCalc's written reviews are positive against 45% of Calculator's. iCalc also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (38 vs 7). Calculator's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
