Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Physics Formulas Lite at Free against Mechanix's $2.99. Physics Formulas Lite also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 54%) and ratings volume (60 vs 1). Mechanix's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support 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
Physics Formulas Lite is free to download; Mechanix costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mechanix holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Formulas Lite has 60 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Mechanix's written reviews are positive against 86% of Physics Formulas Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mechanix ships an update every 9 months, Physics Formulas Lite every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
