Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Dozecal
This educational calculator promotes the use of Base Twelve (duodecimal) in math and science. It offers standard mathematical functions in both duodecimal and decimal modes, with automatic conversion between them. It utilizes Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) for calculations.
- Duodecimal and Decimal modes

Dozecal is an educational RPN* calculator to promote the use of Base Twelve in math and science. The usual math functions are available in both DUODECIMAL and DECIMAL modes. Conversion is automatically made when switching from one mode to the other one. Trigonometric operations uses DEGREE as unit of measure. For more information about Base 12, please visit the Dozenal Society of America. * RPN : the Dozecalc calculator uses the Reverse Polish Notation (RPN). This notation seems complex but has many advantages over algebraic notation and is more intuitive once you have understood the idea. The calculator has a stack and any operation that requires two numbers is using the bottom stack layers (X and Y). Key ENTER to push the stack up and separate one number from the next. To perform arithmetic, key in the first number, press ENTER to separate the first number from the second, then key in the second number and then select and operator such as the numerical functions +, -, * or /. The result appears immediately after you press the numerical function key. The operator is keyed in only after both operands are in the stack. Example: calculate 3 + 4 Key sequence: 3 ENTER 4 + Result: 7 The result of any operation may itself become an operand. You do not need to press enter again to use the result. The "7" is already entered. Example: add 2 to the previous result Key sequence: 2 + Result: 9 Example: calculate 5 * (3 + 4) Key sequence: 3 ENTER 4 + 5 * Alternate key sequence: 5 ENTER 3 ENTER 4 + * Disclaimer: results and precision may occasionally be incorrect.

The Dozenal Suite is a set of five apps for dozenalists! They run on Apple’s mobiles (with iOS 18 or later). On any timing device, the day is divided by successive powers of 12, providing metric time reckoning based on twelves rather than tens. The leftmost digit changes every 2 hours (1/12 day), the next digit every 10 minutes, the next every 50 seconds. If displayed, the fourth digit changes every 4 1/6 seconds and the fifth digit every 25/72 second. In the dozenal number base, because the number 10 is one dozen, numerals ten and eleven must be single digits. They are represented by the symbols invented long ago by Isaac Pitman: rotated 2 for ten, and rotated 3 for eleven. Those are used by the two major dozenal societies, the Dozenal Society of America and the Dozenal Society of Great Britain. In the plain text below, ten is designated by the letter A, and eleven by the letter B. The timer app may be set for any time between dozenal 000.01 and BBB.BB. It counts down by the last digit, the Primel metrology's twinkling.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Dozecal at 12.0 against DozTimer's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
