Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ruud holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ruud has 1.1K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Ruud Calcu Save's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ruud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ruud Calcu Save ships an update every 2 months, Ruud monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
