Mouse Scale vs LoadBench
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Mouse Scale
This app helps U.S. truck drivers estimate axle weights from air suspension pressure for optimized loads, fuel savings, and safety. It offers a one-time calibration and provides instant weight results, with an optional PRO version for advanced analysis.
- Instant weight estimates
- One-time calibration
- Fuel efficiency optimization
- Winter safety guidance
- Advanced PRO version features
- Load distribution calculations

Mouse Scale PRO is a major upgrade to the outdated load-control industry, which still relies on mathematical models created long before smartphones and onboard computers existed. If you are new to our technology, we recommend starting with Mouse Scale Light. It is simpler, more affordable, and easier to understand before moving to Mouse Scale PRO. The unwritten rule of this industry is: Whoever determines weights deserves to be rewarded by motor carriers. Terms of Use: https://arc.net/l/quote/vgehazzr Mouse Scale PRO is an information breakthrough for drivers, motor carriers, and truck manufacturers. Its new mathematical model combines all seven key variable parameters of the truck and dry van—including fuel and DEF weight distribution, any fifth-wheel position, trailer tandem position, suspension pressures, and driver weight—to calculate 25 useful weight-related results. Load-control digitalization is the path toward partial-load transportation because our apps use well-known suspension pressure gauges to estimate cargo weight, cargo center of mass, and remaining payload capacity. Our goal is to equip every truck and trailer with practical, affordable load-control technology that improves safety, environmental responsibility, transportation efficiency, and helps increase profits for drivers, motor carriers, and truck manufacturers. Digitization is inevitable. Our formulas provide far more information than just axle weights and gross weight. Drivers and carriers around the globe need more information about the weight parameters of the cargo being transported by semi-trucks. Within approximately three years, half of American trucks will have onboard computers with an extended network of sensors capable of using our new truck math. We would like to digitize the remaining trucks and trailers using smartphones. Progress is unstoppable. Do not resist it. Embrace new technologies.
LoadBench
This app helps firearm enthusiasts find the most accurate and consistent ammunition loads. It visualizes test results for powder charge and seating depth, organizes data by firearm, and includes a ballistics calculator. Data is encrypted for privacy, with an optional subscription for multi-device syncing.
- Powder charge testing and velocity statistics
- Seating depth (OAL) testing and group size analysis
- Data organized by firearm
- Component and environmental condition logging
- Integrated ballistics calculator
- End-to-end encrypted data storage

Every reloading app can log components. LoadBench helps you find the perfect load. Stop the frustrating guesswork of load development. LoadBench is a powerful analysis tool designed to guide you through the process of finding your firearm's most accurate and consistent recipe. We go beyond simple record-keeping to help you visualize your results and make data-driven decisions. VISUALIZE YOUR PERFECT LOAD: This is what sets LoadBench apart. Our app is built around the core tasks of load development: Powder Charge Testing: Easily log every shot across a range of powder charges. LoadBench then calculates the velocity statistics (SD, ES) for each charge, allowing you to visually identify the "node"—the charge that produces the most consistent muzzle velocity. Seating Depth (OAL) Testing: Systematically test different seating depths and record your group sizes. Our interface lets you visually compare the accuracy results to find the OAL that produces the tightest groups for your firearm. Instead of hunting through a notebook, you can see clear, side-by-side comparisons that make your best load combination obvious. ORGANIZED BY FIREARM: Every test and every piece of data is tied to a specific firearm. Optimize loads for your entire collection and easily access your "favorite" and most accurate recipes for each gun. COMPREHENSIVE LOGGING SUPPORT: Of course, we have the essentials covered. Log all your components (bullets, powder, primers, brass), environmental conditions, and detailed notes to support your load development process. INTEGRATED BALLISTICS CALCULATOR: Once you've found your perfect load, use our built-in calculator to analyze its downrange performance. Compare trajectories and understand the capabilities of your optimized handloads before you go to a match or a hunt. YOUR DATA, SECURE & PRIVATE: We believe your data is yours alone. All of your reloading and firearm information is encrypted at rest on your device for the utmost privacy. For users who want to analyze data on a computer and log at the range, our optional premium subscription offers multi-device syncing. This service is built with end-to-end encryption, meaning no one but you can ever access your data—not even us. Stop just logging data. Start using it. Download LoadBench and take the guesswork out of precision reloading.
