Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MechTab at Free against FSWizard PRO's $17.99. FSWizard PRO's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 9 months). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

MechTab is free to download; FSWizard PRO costs $17.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FSWizard PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of MechTab's written reviews are positive against 86% of FSWizard PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MechTab ships an update every 9 months, FSWizard PRO every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
