Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CanFish at 3.0 against CALTIP's 2.0. CanFish also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 21 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). CALTIP's advantage is review sentiment (11% vs 0%) and ratings volume (9 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CanFish holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 2 respectively.
