Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BA Financial Calculator at 4.8 against Simple TVM's 3.4. BA Financial Calculator also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 10). Simple TVM's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BA Financial Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BA Financial Calculator has 3.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Simple TVM's written reviews are positive against 65% of BA Financial Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple TVM ships an update every 6 weeks, BA Financial Calculator every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
