# Pilot Pro vs ACR/PCR Calculator

The clearest difference is rating: ACR/PCR Calculator at 4.3 against Pilot Pro's 1.6. Pilot Pro's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 8%) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pilot Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per year and ACR/PCR Calculator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ACR/PCR Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Pilot Pro's written reviews are positive against 8% of ACR/PCR Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pilot Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, ACR/PCR Calculator every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
