Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CalcApp at free against xZip's paid. CalcApp also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). xZip's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, 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. CalcApp sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and xZip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
xZip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CalcApp has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of CalcApp's written reviews are positive against 50% of xZip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CalcApp ships an update every 3 weeks, xZip every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
