Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Calvis at weekly against Bond's every 2 months. Calvis also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bond's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 63%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 13). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bond against 4.7 for Calvis. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bond has 1.1K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Bond's written reviews are positive against 63% of Calvis's.
Bond ships an update every 2 months, Calvis weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
