Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Toolfold at none against CalcKit's 3. Toolfold also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). CalcKit's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
