Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sitrad holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sitrad has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Sitrad's written reviews are positive against 21% of Carel Applica's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sitrad ships an update every 6 weeks, Carel Applica every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
