Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Programmer's Calculator at none against Electrical Calculations's shown. Programmer's Calculator also leads on ratings volume (845 vs 126) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Electrical Calculations's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (87% vs 62%). On price, rating, 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. Electrical Calculations sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months and Programmer's Calculator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Electrical Calculations against 4.7 for Programmer's Calculator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Programmer's Calculator has 845 ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Electrical Calculations's written reviews are positive against 62% of Programmer's Calculator's.
Electrical Calculations ships an update every 3 weeks, Programmer's Calculator every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
