Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Calc² at none against Calculator Pro Lite's shown. Calc² also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). Calculator Pro Lite's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
