Verdict
Cal Plus and Grobe both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Grobe's written reviews are positive against 63% of Cal Plus's. Cal Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
