Calculator is free to download; Tappirgal Adlam costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tappirgal Adlam holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator has 916 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Calculator's written reviews are positive against 0% of Tappirgal Adlam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
