Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FracPad Lite at 5.0 against XTOMP's 3.2. XTOMP's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 14%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FracPad Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XTOMP has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of XTOMP's written reviews are positive against 14% of FracPad Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
XTOMP ships an update monthly, FracPad Lite every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
