My Bender vs BendWorks Go
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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BendWorks Go at Free against My Bender's $2.99. BendWorks Go also leads on rating (2.9 vs 2.6) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). My Bender's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On ratings volume, 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
BendWorks Go is free to download; My Bender costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BendWorks Go holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of My Bender's written reviews are positive against 33% of BendWorks Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Bender ships an update every 2 weeks, BendWorks Go every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
