Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Electrical Calculations at 4.6 against Resistor's 3.0. Electrical Calculations also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months). Resistor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
