The Hydraulic System Calculator is an intuitive tool for people working with hydraulic cylinders, pumps, motors and pipes. This app enables design of individual hydraulic components around single-acting or double-acting cylinders. A user can look into the formulas involved and switch to their preferred units. Features at a glance: - By entering the requisite dimensions of the cylinder and parameters like the pressure and oil flow the user would be able to calculate the areas & volumes in the cylinder, extraction & retraction forces, velocity, time, outflow and ratio. The output is derived on both the piston and rod side of the cylinder - A backward compatibility is also provided on some of the parameters (force, time & velocity) in the cylinder area to provide users with the extension of using the calculator in more user friendly environment - The app enables the calculation of flow rate, pressure, displacement, speed, torque and power in Motor section - The app enables the calculation of displacement, flow rate, electric motor power and total efficiency in Pump section - The app can be used to calculate pressure drop around an orifice - Piping parameters like velocity, cross-sectional area and reynolds number can be calculated using absolute or kinematic viscosity - The calculations can be carried out in both Metric or Imperial units - The data provided is in conformation with ISO 3320, ISO 3321 and ISO 4393 in the cylinder section - The calculator is built to dynamically update the results as the user keys in the values - The input and output values could be displayed in preferred sub-units as per the requirements of the user after the calculation is carried out. It also helps the user to make specific changes in units before the calculations - Interactive images on cylinder section provides the user with a good understanding of the component - The results can be copied to clipboard and can be shared via e-mail

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hydraulic System Calculator at none against Thread Calculator's shown. Hydraulic System Calculator also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 18 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Thread Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Thread Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 13 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Hydraulic System Calculator's written reviews are positive against 33% of Thread Calculator's.
Hydraulic System Calculator ships an update every 7 months, Thread Calculator every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
