Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Equigate at 89% against Vetcalculators's 45%. Equigate also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). Vetcalculators's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (606 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vetcalculators sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and Equigate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $63.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vetcalculators holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vetcalculators has 606 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Vetcalculators's written reviews are positive against 89% of Equigate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vetcalculators ships an update every 3 months, Equigate every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
