Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Calculisy at 4.8 against Calculator Silver Lite's 4.1. Calculisy also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (61 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Calculator Silver Lite sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Calculisy sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Calculisy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculisy has 61 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Calculator Silver Lite's written reviews are positive against 84% of Calculisy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Calculator Silver Lite ships an update every 2 months, Calculisy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
