This app is designed for both iPhone and iPad. This application uses the basic calculations of the Volumetric Method to control oil wells after the occurrence of kick during drilling operations on landing rigs (Onshore). - Starting on version 1.1, this app is optimized for horizontal and directional wells. It imports data files from our apps: (Driling Hydraulics, Drilling Simulators, Kick Tolerance, Kick Game, MPD Simulator and Well Control Simulators) available for sale in our portfolio on the App Store. It is can be applied on the oilfield and also help in the understanding of the Volumetric Method of well control. This app was developed based on existing spreadsheets. There is no comparison with any other software. Our goal was to create a low-cost application with the help of experts to share with drilling engineers, technicians, drillers, students and teachers of drilling engineering. There is no intention to replace the professional softwares. You can contribute with suggestions for improvements, correcting the translation to english, reporting bugs and spreading it to your friends.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hole Volumes at Free against Volumetric Method's $19.99. Hole Volumes also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 38 months). Volumetric Method's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
