Ballistica is a ballistics calculator for long-range shooters who want clear corrections and a transparent view of the data behind them. Select a rifle and load, enter the line-of-sight range, shooting angle, wind, and atmospheric conditions, then calculate elevation and windage corrections. Results include direction, angular correction, linear drop or drift, and turret clicks when click values are configured. ADVANCED BALLISTICS ENGINE • 3D Point Mass trajectory modeling • G1, G5, G7, and G8 standard drag models • Support for velocity-dependent Custom Drag Models • Optional spin drift, Coriolis, and aerodynamic jump calculations • Line-of-sight range and inclined-shot calculations • Temperature, pressure, humidity, and altitude inputs • Live weather data using your current location • Separate atmospheric conditions for saved zero profiles • Two-stage truing for muzzle velocity and drop scale factor • Transonic, subsonic, and validated-range warnings CLEAR RESULTS • Elevation and windage corrections in MOA or MRAD • Native MOA and MRAD turret-click calculations • Dial and hold directions shown directly in the solution • Linear drop and wind drift • Remaining velocity, Mach, energy, and time of flight • Visible drag model, ballistic coefficient, muzzle-velocity source, zero, and truing status • Clear indication when changed inputs make a previous solution stale • Breakdown of included spin drift and Coriolis contributions VISUAL TOOLS • Virtual target with calculated point-of-impact marker • Reticle holdover visualization • Adjustable scope-view magnification • Target presets and dimensions • Interactive trajectory graph with drop, velocity, Mach, and energy readouts • Range cards with configurable start range, end range, and increment • Range-card data for correction, drop, drift, clicks, velocity, Mach, energy, and time of flight • Printable PDF range-card export • Mover-lead and mil-ranging tools RIFLES, LOADS, AND ZEROS • Rifle and scope profiles • Custom ammunition profiles • Built-in bullet library • Multiple zero profiles for each rifle • Optional atmospheric data for individual zeros • Quick Start profiles for frequently used rifle-and-load combinations • Sample setups for new users SHOT LOGS AND RANGE SESSIONS • Record observed impacts directly from a calculated solution • Save shot notes and solution details • Organize shots into named range sessions • Add a location, notes, and an optional target photo to a session • Review group size, mean radius, and average vertical or horizontal deviation • Filter shot history by date and rifle • Share a visual session summary FIELD-READY SETTINGS • Metric, Imperial, or mixed unit configurations • Independent units for distance, velocity, energy, pressure, angle, weight, bullet diameter, and twist rate • Daylight, Field Dark, High Contrast Field, and Low-Light Red themes • iCloud sync for rifles, loads, Quick Start profiles, sessions, and shot logs • Data import and export Whether you are checking a correction, preparing a range card, evaluating a load, or reviewing a range session, Ballistica keeps the calculation and supporting data together in one clear workflow.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CPI pro at none against Ballistica's 1. CPI pro also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
