Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Electrical Calculations at 4.6 against ELECTROtools's 4.0. Electrical Calculations also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). ELECTROtools's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electrical Calculations holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electrical Calculations has 126 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ELECTROtools's written reviews are positive against 87% of Electrical Calculations's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ELECTROtools ships an update every 2 months, Electrical Calculations every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
