Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stash Hub at 4.9 against Fabric Calculator's 4.4. Stash Hub also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (97 vs 8). Fabric Calculator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stash Hub holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stash Hub has 97 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Fabric Calculator's written reviews are positive against 96% of Stash Hub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fabric Calculator ships an update every 6 weeks, Stash Hub every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
