Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bend Solver at none against SSAB BendCalc's shown. Bend Solver also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). SSAB BendCalc's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
