Like for example does an hour of calisthenics burns more calories than 25 minute of jogging? Or nah?

Depends how much effort you put into the calisthenics and how fast your jog is.
So the answer is no, yes or maybe.
As a rule of thumb cardio burns far more than strength training but you only get out what you put in.
Look up your activity here and compare the METS....

Most likely cardio, unless you're going way too easy.0
