Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Calculator Plus at every 2 weeks against Calculator‰'s every 5 months. Calculator Plus also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 70%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Calculator‰'s advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (409K vs 2.2K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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.
Calculator‰ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator‰ has 409K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Calculator‰'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Calculator Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Calculator‰ ships an update every 5 months, Calculator Plus every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
