# Kalkyl vs Calculator M+

The clearest difference is update cadence: Calculator M+ at fortnightly against Kalkyl's every 5 weeks. Calculator M+ also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Kalkyl's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 64%) and ratings volume (717 vs 111). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kalkyl sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year and Calculator M+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Kalkyl against 4.5 for Calculator M+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kalkyl has 717 ratings behind it against 111, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Kalkyl's written reviews are positive against 64% of Calculator M+'s.

Kalkyl ships an update every 5 weeks, Calculator M+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
