Machinist Tool holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 83% of FSWizard's written reviews are positive against 0% of Machinist Tool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FSWizard ships an update monthly, Machinist Tool weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
