The goal for the Totalizer was to make a watch calculator that you'll always enjoy using. It has: + Big, easy to hit buttons, while keeping everything you need on a single screen. + Running total will update as you type, no need for the "=" button. + Perfect button responsiveness. + Instant launch time. + Full equation preview as you type. + Easily accessible "%" button, which I think is the most used feature for an app of this kind (to calculate a tip, a sale, or a price after tax). + Percent works as you'd expect it to: 200+10% = 220 100-10% = 90 + Has the secondary layout where the buttons are as big as possible, and the operators can be reached with a button press or a screen swipe. + One tap to add parentheses around the equation - just tap the running total number. + Complications are available for the quick app launch, and to display the last result. The above may sound obvious, but it took a lot of thinking, designing, adding, and subtracting to get there, which comes through when you start using it. If you have an idea how to make it even better - I'm listening! Privacy Policy: Totalizer does not collect or transmit any kind of data whatsoever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Totalizer at 5.0 against Codex Calc's 4.0. Totalizer also leads on ratings volume (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Codex Calc's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Codex Calc costs $0.99 and Totalizer $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Totalizer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively.
