DigiCompCalc vs Inductor Design Pro
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
DigiCompCalc
This utility app simplifies digital power compensator coefficient calculations. It allows users to input data and obtain results directly on their mobile device, eliminating the need for complex desktop software. Results can be emailed for easy sharing.
- Calculate coefficients from analog compensator values
- Calculate coefficients directly using poles and zeros
- Email results
- Remembers last calculated variables
- Dark Mode support

You no longer have to buy Matlab for just a few simple digital filter calculations. For use with Type II and Type III error amplifiers. Features: • Free! No Ads! • Calculate coefficients using the values from an analog compensator • Calculate coefficients directly using poles and zeros • Email results to yourself or your firmware designer • Remembers last set of calculated variables • Dark Mode support Install DigiCompCalc today!
Inductor Design Pro
Read full descriptionHide full description
Inductor Design Pro is a secure, offline-first power inductor design tool for power electronics engineers and magnetic component design workflows. Core capabilities: AP-method and LI²-method core selection, joint core-and-winding iteration, Pareto non-dominated filtering with DQS five-dimension scoring (loss, core volume, thermal margin, manufacturability, risk), and automatic multi-candidate comparison. Supports custom material / core / bobbin databases merged with the built-in library. Peak flux density B_max is optional — leave blank to auto-determine from material and operating temperature; if set manually, use values appropriate to the material family to avoid excluding viable cores too early. Topologies: Buck, Boost, Forward (output filter inductor only, not the transformer), and Interleaved Buck (multi-phase, one inductor per phase), with CCM / DCM / BCM modes and full co-evaluation of core, material, air gap, temperature rise, and losses. Parameter sweep: frequency sweep and ripple-ratio / DCM sweep charts visualize how inductance and core size vary with key parameters, helping you trade off switching frequency against core size. Workflow: three-step closed loop (Specifications & Constraints → Core & Winding Selection → Summary & Report), with PDF report and JSON design-file export. Built-in core and wire database included. Privacy & data: core design runs locally; design data stays on your device and is never uploaded to the developer’s servers. Subscription and restore purchases require a network connection. Subscription: Inductor Design Pro Annual Subscription, 1-year term, auto-renews at expiry, $29.99/year (Mainland China ¥198/year; other regions as shown in the App Store). New users get a 14-day full-feature free trial — see the Subscription tab (3rd tab in the app). Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; no refund for the current period. Privacy commitment: no data collection, no account system.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DigiCompCalc at none against Inductor Design Pro's 1. Inductor Design Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 68 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
