Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Backup Calendar at none against Cal2CSV's 1. Backup Calendar also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). Cal2CSV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
