Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CalcFast at Free against Hash Calculator's $1.99. CalcFast also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). Hash Calculator's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (117 vs 20). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
