Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PencilCalc at none against EverythingList's 1. PencilCalc also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). EverythingList's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
