# Calculator +ㅤ vs Tip Calc

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tip Calc at 100% against Calculator +ㅤ's 46%. Tip Calc also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Calculator +ㅤ's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 35). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Calculator +ㅤ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Tip Calc sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tip Calc holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator +ㅤ has 4.5K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Calculator +ㅤ's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tip Calc's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
