Command-Line Calculator (CLCalculator) provides the most fluid interface, especially if you are performing chained calculations i.e. multiple calculations that rely on the results of previous calculations. By providing a command-line interface, CLCalculator allows you to easily enter and view the history of your calculations. You focus on your calculations instead of being intimidated by myriad of buttons on a traditional calculator interface! In addition to performing basic calculations, CLCalculator provides an array of features such as: - Assign and reuse variables - Complex numbers - Number bases i.e. binary, octal, hexadecimal - Constants e.g. e, pi - String manipulation - Matrices - Unit conversion: in-built and user-defined (create your own units!) - Functions: in-built and user-defined (create your own functions!) - Arithmetic functions e.g. fraction, square root, rounding off, ceiling, floor, logarithm - Algebra functions e.g. derivative, simplify symbolic expressions, solve linear equations - Bitwise functions e.g. bitwise and, not, or, left and right shift - Combinatorics functions e.g. Bell, Catalan, Stirling numbers - Geometry functions - Logical functions e.g. and, not, or, xor - Probability functions e.g. combinations, permutations, factorial - Relational functions - Set functions e.g. cartesian product, intersection, union - Statistics functions e.g. mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance - Trigonometry functions e.g. sin, cos, tan, cot, sinh, acos - and much more! The app also comes with a comprehensive in-built help system with plenty of examples. CLCalculator is powered by math.js (https://mathjs.org/)

GPSTime is a time conversion tool designed for researchers, students, and GPS/GNSS professionals. Time conversion is a frequent challenge in GNSS work—whether parsing broadcast ephemerides, handling IGS product names, or aligning observation data. GPSTime streamlines this process by providing accurate conversions between GPS Time and UTC, with full support for leap seconds. The app supports a wide range of commonly used formats, including: • GPS Week + Time of Week (TOW) • GPS Week + Day of Week (DOW) • Gregorian calendar (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) • Year + Day of Year (DOY) • Modified Julian Date (MJD) Using historical leap-second data, GPSTime ensures correct handling of the GPS–UTC offset for both past and present times. GPSTime is also capable of saving your conversion history (up to 200 logs in the History tab) and lets you configure default conversion scenarios to match your most frequently used time system and format. With a clean interface and multiple input/output options, GPSTime is an essential companion for GNSS research, education, and precise timekeeping tasks.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Command at every 5 days against GPSTime's every 2 weeks. Command also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.5). On price, rating, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Command against 5.0 for GPSTime. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Command has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Command ships an update every 5 days, GPSTime every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
