Rebar Calc vs SpringCalc
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Rebar Calc
This app simplifies concrete and rebar calculations for construction projects. It helps estimate rebar tonnage, mesh quantities, and concrete volume, and can even provide quotes for materials.
- Rebar tonnage calculation
- Sheet and roll mesh estimation
- Concrete volume estimator
- Material quote generation
- Adjustable lap amount
- Configurable rebar/mesh size

Rebar Calc is your all-in-one solution for rebar and concrete calculations. Whether you need to determine the tons and linear feet of rebar, sheets of sheet mesh, or rolls of roll mesh required for your concrete project, Rebar Calc has you covered. Tailor your calculations by configuring the necessary lap amount, and selecting the size of rebar, sheet mesh, or roll mesh to suit your specific needs. Rebar Calc also features a fast and easy concrete volume estimator in cubic yards. Quickly figure out how many bags of grout, fast-setting concrete, and other materials you'll need for slabs or concrete cores. Plus, with just a tap, you can get a quote on rebar, mesh, and other concrete supplies. Simplify your construction planning with Rebar Calc, the essential tool for every concrete job. These calculations are for estimating purposes only. All final figures should be verified by a professional before quoting, purchasing, or installing materials.

SpringCalc is a professional engineering calculator for mechanical springs. Enter any subset of spring parameters and SpringCalc solves for the rest — wire diameter, mean diameter, coil count, free length, spring rate, force, stress, safety factor and predicted fatigue life. Features: • Three spring types: Compression, Extension, Torsion • 15 built-in materials (Music Wire, Hard Drawn, Oil Tempered, Chrome Silicon, Chrome Vanadium, 302/304/316/17-7 PH Stainless, Phosphor Bronze, Beryllium Copper, Monel 400, Inconel 600/X-750/718) with JIS aliases (SWP-A/B, SUS302/304/316-WPB, SWOSC-V, etc.) • ASTM/SAE and JIS B 2704 calculation standards • Constraint-based solver with Wahl factor stress correction • Goodman + Basquin fatigue life prediction with environmental and temperature derating • Force-deflection and S-N curves via Swift Charts • 3-candidate design suggestion when system is under-determined • Standard wire gauge snap (ISO 2702 / SWG) • Custom material editor • Metric, Imperial and Mixed (mm/kgf) units • PDF and text report export • Save designs locally with SwiftData • Localized in English, Traditional Chinese and Japanese References: Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design 10e Ch.10, JIS B 2704:2009, JIS B 2705:2014, SMI Handbook of Spring Design. All calculations run entirely on-device — no account, no cloud, no tracking.
