Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: myNODE at none against XCalc Calculator's 3. myNODE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). XCalc Calculator's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
