Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Function Calc at 5.0 against Calculator Widget's 4.3. Function Calc also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Calculator Widget's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Function Calc holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator Widget has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Function Calc's written reviews are positive against 100% of Calculator Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Function Calc ships an update monthly, Calculator Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
