Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Formula Canvas at Free against Pythagorean Calculator Pro's $1.99. Formula Canvas also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pythagorean Calculator Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On device support there is nothing between them.
