# Resistance Color Calculator vs SMD decoder

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.

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.
