Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: AWG Calculator at every 4 weeks against ElectriCalc Pro's every 10 months. AWG Calculator also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). ElectriCalc Pro's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (368 vs 70). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ElectriCalc Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and AWG Calculator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ElectriCalc Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ElectriCalc Pro has 368 ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ElectriCalc Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of AWG Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ElectriCalc Pro ships an update every 10 months, AWG Calculator every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
