# Lyrello vs Calc

The clearest difference is rating: Lyrello at 5.0 against Calc's 4.1. Lyrello also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Calc's advantage is ratings volume (51 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lyrello sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Calc sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lyrello holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calc has 51 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Lyrello ships an update every 3 days, Calc weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
