@nprofile1q... GrapheneOS greatly improves both privacy and security compared to the Android Open Source Project while CalyxOS does the opposite by lagging far behind standard patches and protections. They're not in the same space.
Nearly every Android app is compatible with GrapheneOS. It has our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer to run apps depending Google Play. Banking apps are a special case but most work. App compatibility is much work on operating systems using microG including CalyxOS.
