Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MAX CU at Free against BA Financial Calculator Pro's $5.99. MAX CU also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (8.9K vs 191). BA Financial Calculator Pro's advantage is chart position (#100 vs unranked) and review sentiment (37% vs 28%). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MAX CU holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MAX CU has 8.9K ratings behind it against 191, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of BA Financial Calculator Pro's written reviews are positive against 28% of MAX CU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BA Financial Calculator Pro ships an update every 5 weeks, MAX CU every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
