Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Calcu at none against Mathfuns's 3. Calcu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Mathfuns's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mathfuns sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Calcu asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calcu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mathfuns has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mathfuns ships an update every 3 weeks, Calcu every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
