Phase Calc for iOS is an advanced engineering app for most electrical designs, expecially symmetrical component analysis and three-phase power system calculations. Built for students, teachers, technicians, and engineers, it combines a polished mobile experience with a powerful technical workflow for fast, accurate analysis of unbalanced three-phase systems in the field, lab, or classroom. The app performs both phase-to-sequence and sequence-to-phase transformations, with support for inputs in polar and rectangular form. It quickly resolves three unbalanced phase quantities into their positive-, negative-, and zero-sequence components, making it a practical tool for protection studies, fault analysis, system modeling, relay validation, and coursework. More than a single-purpose calculator, Phase Calc is packed with specialized calculators, technical reference libraries, and built-in formulas to support everyday power systems work. Whether you are checking values, reviewing theory, or working through engineering problems more efficiently, the app puts essential tools in one place. Results can be exported instantly, including vector data for plotting and graphical analysis, as well as technical report exports for documentation, review, and sharing. With powerful capabilities in a streamlined interface, Phase Calc delivers a complete mobile toolkit for three-phase analysis on iPhone and iPad.
Metric Converters

This is the Converter Maniacs Mobile Metric Converter. It can convert between twenty different metric prefixes: Yotta, Zetta, Exa, Peta, Tera, Giga, Mega, Kilo, Hecto, Deka, Deci, Centi, Milli, Micro, Nano, Pico, Femto, Atto, Zepto, and Yocto. Not only can it convert between all of those prefixes, but it will also give you the formula and illustrate what you are converting with pictures. The app is fast, intuitive, and easy to use. It is a standalone app, which means that it will work perfectly fine in places with little or no Internet access. We hope this will become one of your favorite utility apps on your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Metric Converters at Free against Phase Calc's $1.99. Metric Converters also leads on iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). Phase Calc's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 38 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
