Verdict

The call

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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
