Resistor Color Codes vs Capacitor
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Resistor Color Codes
Easily determine resistor values without a multimeter. Simply spin the color wheels to match your resistor. This tool simplifies the process of identifying resistance.
- Intuitive color wheel interface
- Accurate resistance value calculation
- No multimeter required
- Easy to use for beginners
- Supports various resistor types

This App takes the uncertainty out of determining resistance values when no multimeter is at hand. Intuitively spin the color wheels to match the resistor you have laying around. It truly is that easy!
Capacitor
Easily determine capacitor values from color codes or calculate color codes from values. Supports both standard and SMD capacitors, providing quick and accurate conversions for electronics projects.
- Capacitor color code to value conversion
- Value to capacitor color code conversion
- SMD capacitor code to value conversion
- SMD value to EIA code calculation
- Supports standard and SMD capacitors

The Capacitor Converter is the perfect tool for anyone working with electronics – from hobbyists and students to professional technicians. Simply select the color bands and instantly see the corresponding capacitor value. Or enter a value and let the app calculate the correct color bands automatically. SMD capacitors are fully supported as well: enter the capacitor code → the value is calculated. Enter the value → the matching EIA code is generated. The app works completely offline, is fast, intuitive, and requires no registration. Perfect for workshops, labs, education, and DIY electronics projects. Key Features: Select color bands → instantly get the capacitor value Enter a value → automatically get the correct color bands Supports SMD capacitor codes: EIA‑3, EIA‑4, and EIA‑96 Fully offline, no registration required Ideal for electronics hobbyists, students, and professionals Clean interface and fast workflow The Capacitor Converter makes working with capacitor values easier, faster, and more reliable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Resistor Color Codes at 5.0 against Capacitor's 4.8. Resistor Color Codes also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Capacitor's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Resistor Color Codes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Capacitor has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
