Verdict

The call

Piping DataBase and Bending Sheet Metal Calculator both sit at 2.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Piping DataBase's written reviews are positive against 0% of Bending Sheet Metal Calculator's. Piping DataBase also leads on price ($3.99 vs $5.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Bending Sheet Metal Calculator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On rating, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
