Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Goldfish Notes at none against DaCalculator's shown. Goldfish Notes also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 26.0). DaCalculator's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
