Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ClearView Flex at Free against tcCalc's $0.99. ClearView Flex also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%). tcCalc's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 4) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

tcCalc holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: tcCalc has 76 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of tcCalc's written reviews are positive against 100% of ClearView Flex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

tcCalc ships an update every 3 months, ClearView Flex every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
