Languages Supported: English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, French, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), and many more. Please Note: * Text recognition of videos is not supported at this time (Use Apple Live Text instead). * Must enable full-access in the keyboard section of system settings for auto-paste capabilities. *** Due to Apple Privacy restrictions starting in iOS/iPadOS 16, you may need to enable "Paste from Other Apps" in the iOS/iPadOS settings ***

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CalculatorX at 93% against Taplet's 60%. CalculatorX also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Taplet's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Taplet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CalculatorX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Taplet holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Taplet's written reviews are positive against 93% of CalculatorX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Taplet ships an update every 3 weeks, CalculatorX every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
