Resistance Color Calculator vs SMD decoder
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Resistance Color Calculator
Easily determine the resistance value of electronic components. Simply select the number of color bands on your resistor and input the colors one by one to instantly get the resistance and tolerance. This tool simplifies a common electronics task.
- Select number of resistor rings
- Input resistor colors sequentially
- Instant resistance value display
- Tolerance calculation
- User-friendly interface

Here's how: • Choose from the menu bar how many rings your resistor has. • Hold the resistor with the larger gap between the rings on the right side. • Select the colors of your resistor one after the other and directly receive the resistance value including tolerance, etc. Have fun easily determining the resistance values!
SMD decoder
Decode SMD resistors with this practical tool. It supports three-digit, four-digit, and EIA-96 encoded resistor values, providing quick and accurate identification.
- Decodes 3-digit SMD codes
- Decodes 4-digit SMD codes
- Decodes EIA-96 SMD codes
- Resistor value identification

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Resistance Color Calculator at 60 against SMD decoder's 1. SMD decoder's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Resistance Color Calculator against 5.0 for SMD decoder. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resistance Color Calculator has 60 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
