Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Stash Hub sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Fabric Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
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.
