Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Electrical Calculator lite at 4.6 against MApp™'s 3.5. Electrical Calculator lite also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 56 months) and ratings volume (574 vs 6). MApp™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Electrical Calculator lite sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. MApp™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electrical Calculator lite holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electrical Calculator lite has 574 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Electrical Calculator lite's written reviews are positive against 50% of MApp™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Electrical Calculator lite ships an update every 5 weeks, MApp™ every 56 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
