Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CoolCalc Scan holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CPS Link has 154 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of CPS Link's written reviews are positive against 0% of CoolCalc Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CPS Link ships an update every 3 weeks, CoolCalc Scan every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
