The Capacitor Converter is the perfect tool for anyone working with electronics – from hobbyists and students to professional technicians. Simply select the color bands and instantly see the corresponding capacitor value. Or enter a value and let the app calculate the correct color bands automatically. SMD capacitors are fully supported as well: enter the capacitor code → the value is calculated. Enter the value → the matching EIA code is generated. The app works completely offline, is fast, intuitive, and requires no registration. Perfect for workshops, labs, education, and DIY electronics projects. Key Features: Select color bands → instantly get the capacitor value Enter a value → automatically get the correct color bands Supports SMD capacitor codes: EIA‑3, EIA‑4, and EIA‑96 Fully offline, no registration required Ideal for electronics hobbyists, students, and professionals Clean interface and fast workflow The Capacitor Converter makes working with capacitor values easier, faster, and more reliable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Capacitor at none against Electronics Kit's 5. Capacitor also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Electronics Kit's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (65 vs 10). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Electronics Kit sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Capacitor asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Electronics Kit against 4.8 for Capacitor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electronics Kit has 65 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Electronics Kit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Capacitor's.
Electronics Kit ships an update every 6 weeks, Capacitor every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
