Are you a builder, foreman, or just a good owner of the site and you need a convenient tool for calculating the material, and further accounting for its purchases? Tired of sheets and pencils that are forgotten or lost at the most inopportune moment? Cube Calc is a just for you! Cube Calc can count cubes, weight, and their cost in materials such as wood (bar, board, round) of different species and metal (rectangular pipe). It will help you create a shopping list, with the final weight and amount, so that you don’t forget a single item in the store or at the base, while immediately understanding what type of transport will be needed for delivery. If you are a professional builder or foreman, you will appreciate the opportunity to create several lists to take into account the purchase of material for several objects. Each list, which can have its own name, will allow you to maintain the planned volume, weight and cost of the material, and after purchase, you will allow you to see the final amount spent on the object. The actual estimate higher than planned? Items for which the overexpense won’t go unnoticed, the program will select them in the list and show the amount of overexpendit. Features of the free version: ⋅ Convenient calculator for calculating the cubic capacity of timber and board made of pine, and its cost. ⋅ Ability to count both in millimeters and centimeters Additional features in the full version: ⋅ Ability to count not only the cubic capacity of the board and timber, but also the cubic capacity of the round log, as well as the round pipe, rectangular pipe, and armature. ⋅ Calculation of the weight of each item and the entire order as a whole ⋅ Choice of wood type ⋅ Calculation based on the price per unit, cube, linear meter and ton ⋅ Ability to add a calculation to the shopping list with the possibility of individual naming ⋅ Infinite number of lists ⋅ Search through lists and calculations in a list ⋅ Each list/calculation can be have its own name ⋅ Total amount, cubature and weight for each list ⋅ Lists of already purchased material automatically formed for each purchase list with overexpenditure, in case of an increase in the cost of a product at the time of purchase

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cube Calc at none against Timberlog's shown. Cube Calc also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Timberlog's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
