Verdict

The call

Calculator Construction Pro and Construction Expert A1 PRO both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Construction Expert A1 PRO's written reviews are positive against 50% of Calculator Construction Pro's. Construction Expert A1 PRO also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Calculator Construction Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
