Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Calculator Widget at Free against MyScript Calculator's $2.99. Calculator Widget also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). MyScript Calculator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 15). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyScript Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScript Calculator has 1.5K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of MyScript Calculator's written reviews are positive against 100% of Calculator Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MyScript Calculator ships an update every 3 weeks, Calculator Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
