Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Electrical Code at none against Electrical Calculations's 3. Electrical Code also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9.2K vs 126). Electrical Calculations's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (87% vs 71%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Electrical Calculations sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Electrical Code asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electrical Code holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electrical Code has 9.2K ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Electrical Code's written reviews are positive against 87% of Electrical Calculations's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Electrical Code ships an update every 4 months, Electrical Calculations every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
