Inverse Currency Calculations Need to do inverse or reverse currency calculations? Currency+ can switch between standard and inverse currency conversion modes on the fly. Transaction Fees or Taxes Currency+ can factor in transaction fees (or tax) automatically. Individuals rarely convert money at published exchange rates - most banks and exchange offices charge a fee. Enter the transaction fee percentage to give you a better estimate of your 'real' conversion rates. Make the leap with Jump Gap Software's Currency+, the currency converter that takes you around the world and back.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Currency+ Lite at free with in-app purchases against Guidezine's subscription. Currency+ Lite also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 1). Guidezine's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Currency+ Lite sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Guidezine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Guidezine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Currency+ Lite has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Currency+ Lite ships an update every 3 weeks, Guidezine every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
