# Pipe Trades Pro Calc vs Construction Calculator Master

The clearest difference is rating: Pipe Trades Pro Calc at 4.8 against Construction Calculator Master's 4.3. Pipe Trades Pro Calc also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 436) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). Construction Calculator Master's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (70% vs 43%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pipe Trades Pro Calc sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Construction Calculator Master sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pipe Trades Pro Calc holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pipe Trades Pro Calc has 4.4K ratings behind it against 436, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Pipe Trades Pro Calc's written reviews are positive against 70% of Construction Calculator Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pipe Trades Pro Calc ships an update every 7 months, Construction Calculator Master fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
