# iCertifi vs Electrical Calculations

iCertifi and Electrical Calculations both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Electrical Calculations's written reviews are positive against 28% of iCertifi's. Electrical Calculations also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). iCertifi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCertifi sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Electrical Calculations sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electrical Calculations has 126 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of iCertifi's written reviews are positive against 87% of Electrical Calculations's.
