# DayCalc vs 计算器

DayCalc and 计算器 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of DayCalc's written reviews are positive against 35% of 计算器's. DayCalc also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 计算器's advantage is ratings volume (828 vs 128). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DayCalc sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and 计算器 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for DayCalc against 4.7 for 计算器. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 计算器 has 828 ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of DayCalc's written reviews are positive against 35% of 计算器's.

DayCalc ships an update every 3 weeks, 计算器 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
