# BrewingCalc vs Creality Cloud

The clearest difference is rating: Creality Cloud at 4.6 against BrewingCalc's 3.5. Creality Cloud also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (7.2K vs 2). BrewingCalc's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 23). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Creality Cloud sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. BrewingCalc asks for nothing beyond the download.

Creality Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Creality Cloud has 7.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of BrewingCalc's written reviews are positive against 71% of Creality Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BrewingCalc ships an update every 3 months, Creality Cloud every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
