Verdict
Tip Calculator and Tip Calculator both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Tip Calculator's written reviews are positive against 51% of Tip Calculator's. Tip Calculator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tip Calculator's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 8). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
