Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: V at 4.5 against AJA DataCalc's 3.8. AJA DataCalc's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 43%) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). On price, update cadence, 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.
V holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AJA DataCalc has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of AJA DataCalc's written reviews are positive against 43% of V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AJA DataCalc ships an update every 4 months, V every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
