Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DaCalculator at none against EscapeLoop's 1. DaCalculator also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). EscapeLoop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
