Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Calculator Widget at none against Calculator´'s 4. Calculator Widget also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%). Calculator´'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calculator´ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator´ has 465 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Calculator´'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Calculator Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calculator´ ships an update every 5 weeks, Calculator Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
