My Bender vs QuickBend
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
My Bender
This app provides accurate conduit bending calculations by accounting for the unique characteristics of your specific bender. It allows you to adjust bender orientation for practical bending and calculates various complex bends like saddles and offsets with precise measurements.
- Accurate conduit bending calculations
- Custom bender fingerprinting
- Adjustable bender orientation
- Offset and saddle bend calculations
- Kicked 90° bend calculations
- Track multiple benders and their characteristics

My Bender — Professional Conduit Bending Calculator Is that three-bend saddle at the end of the pipe? Wish you could flip the bender around to make the bend easier? With My Bender, you can. One of My Bender’s standout features is the ability to flip the orientation of the bender during calculations. Just tap the bender to reverse its orientation and My Bender automatically updates the measurements for practical, real-world bending. Built Around Your Bender My Bender delivers some of the most accurate conduit bending calculations on the App Store because it doesn’t rely on generic “rule of thumb” multipliers. Instead, My Bender uses the actual bending characteristics of your bender to perform calculations. Most conduit calculators use the cosecant method — an approximation that ignores centerline bending radius and pipe diameter. As bend angles and conduit sizes increase, those errors become more noticeable. My Bender is different. Every calculation is based on your bender’s measured centerline radius and real-world geometry, producing more accurate and repeatable bends. Calculate: * Offsets with predetermined conduit locations * Three-bend saddles * Four-bend saddles * Kicked 90° bends * Distance from benchmark to center of bend for any angle Designed for Real Electricians My Bender was built with practical conduit bending in mind. Unlike other apps, My Bender lets you flip the bender orientation to match the way you actually want to bend the conduit — then automatically displays the correct measurements for that orientation. The app is polished, fast, and designed to feel like a tool you’d actually want to use in the field. Keep Track of All Your Benders Every conduit bender has its own characteristics. My Bender helps you keep track of them all in one place. Add your own: * Hand Benders * Chicago Benders * 555 Benders * Cyclone Benders * Smart Benders * Table Benders My Bender Calculates Important Bender Characteristics: * Take-Up (Deduct) for 90° bends * Gain on 90° bends * Centerline bending radius How It Works Everything starts with the centerline bending radius. Simply bend one 90°, take a few key measurements, select the conduit size and material, and My Bender effectively “fingerprints” your bender for future calculations. Every measurement includes detailed descriptions and diagrams to help visualize exactly what needs to be measured.

QuickBend is the fastest and most precise conduit bending calculator app. Designed to be innovative and intuitive while remaining visually appealing. This advanced conduit bending calculator offers the most accurate measurements by taking into account the radius of the shoe and bender, plus the conduit type and size diameter. All measurements are generated using the centerline radius algorithm, and have all been rigorously processed and field tested. Even the bends displayed within QuickBend are generated using the same engine. Built for electricians by an electrician. QuickBend can be used by anyone working with conduit or tubing whether you are a seasoned professional, a novice cub, or even a DIY enthusiast. Made to avoid simple mistakes, and to save time and money. In addition to providing fast and precise calculations, there is plenty of information and documentation provided for individual bends. Explanations on how to use specific features, and step by step process to bending conduit. Offering the most intuitive method to input data. Whether you want to get straight to the point, or comb through the possibilities of a bend. You can switch back and forth between different input styles such as a number pad, or a slider bar (Press & Slide). Both having their unique advantages. QuickBend allows you, the user to toggle between three different types of measurements; inches, foot + inches, and centimeters. With QuickCheck built into QuickBend, there's a subtle change in text colors when a bend is impossible (red), or whether the bend may be unlikely to work (orange). This app for convenience, and we want it to benefit you. So much so that we added it into the input styles for bends, so you can see if a bend is possible before even tapping on the bend amount. Supporting the following bends! • Offset • Rolling Offset • Matching Bends Offset • Matching Centers Offset • Parallel Offset • Three-Point Saddle • Four-Point Saddle • 90° Bend • Kick with 90° • Matching Bend Kick • Matching Center Kick • Parallel Kick • Parallel Kick: Forward • Compound 90° - Circle Obstruction • Compound 90° - Rectangle Obstruction • Compound 90° - Square Obstruction • Segmented 90° Plus you have the ability to layout multiple bends on a single conduit, and get each measurement for a mark on the conduit. With the option to easily flip an individual or set of marks per bend. There's no limit to QuickBend. Easily, select between different types of benders and choose the size of the shoe and conduit type all within the same screen that you are working on. No need for complex navigations. In addition, you can pin benders you use the most, so you can select and switch between them quickly without consistently scrolling. All benders are spec'd out using the information provided by the manufacturers, and worst case scenario if one of the many benders available don't match the one you are using you can now add in your own bender. There's also an option to not select a bender and to use the multiplier method. Edit and view all of your benders' specifications. Detailed information on the centerline radius, deduct, gain, setback. Plus the ability to view the travel, and radius adjustment for any degree bend between up-to 90°. All of this is visualized and edited within the 'Bender Specs'.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QuickBend at 4.8 against My Bender's 2.6. QuickBend also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 50%) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 21). My Bender's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $6.99). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
My Bender costs $2.99 and QuickBend $6.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
QuickBend holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuickBend has 3.9K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of My Bender's written reviews are positive against 81% of QuickBend's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
