Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Programmer's Calculator at none against Calculator's shown. Programmer's Calculator also leads on ratings volume (845 vs 41) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 62%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
