Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CSiMaterials at none against Concrete Calculator Plus's shown. CSiMaterials also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Concrete Calculator Plus's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Concrete Calculator Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Concrete Calculator Plus has 26K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
