Verdict

The call

Vetcalculators and Scribenote both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Scribenote's written reviews are positive against 43% of Vetcalculators's. Scribenote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Vetcalculators's advantage is ratings volume (616 vs 13) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vetcalculators holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vetcalculators has 616 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Vetcalculators's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scribenote'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 2 months, Scribenote every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
