Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Construction Calculator at 4.7 against Measure's 2.3. Construction Calculator also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 25%) and ratings volume (681 vs 14). Measure's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
