# Calculator # vs Factors

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Calculator # at 60% against Factors's 0%. Calculator # also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.5) and ratings volume (36K vs 4). Factors's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Calculator # sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Factors sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Calculator # holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator # has 36K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Calculator #'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Factors's.
