# SnapCalc vs Chalk

Both are free to download. SnapCalc sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Chalk sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SnapCalc holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnapCalc has 41K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
