# IDM vs CursorCalc

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CursorCalc at 100% against IDM's 33%. CursorCalc also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). IDM's advantage is ratings volume (193 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IDM sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days and CursorCalc sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CursorCalc holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IDM has 193 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of IDM's written reviews are positive against 100% of CursorCalc's.

IDM ships an update every 6 days, CursorCalc every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
