Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Exercise Institute at none against Workout Calc's shown. Exercise Institute also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months). Workout Calc's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
