Summary:
Infinity Softworks sells over a dozen different calculators for Palm, Windows Mobile and Pocket PC. The product that best fits the needs of a real estate agent or broker is powerOne RRE, which sells for $39. They offer a 30 day trial version, that does not require a purchase to try. The calculator operate just like a spreadsheet. You fill in the blanks and results are returned in spreadsheet format. There is extensive help available and the product is reasonably complete in the features that it offers.
RealtyJuggler Calculator, has almost precisely the same set of features. There are a few minor differences - RealtyJuggler Calculator has a commissions calculator that powerOne lacks and powerOne allows loan comparisons while RealtyJuggler Calculator does now. One significant difference is the way that results are presented. RealtyJuggler presents results in a plain english descriptive paragraph, while powerOne presents the results as a spreadsheet. A second difference is that RealtyJuggler Calculator allows for calculation results to be named and saved, whereas powerOne is more like a traditional calculator.
Both calculators seem to get the job done just fine. They are both extremely capable products and are fairly easy to use. The price for either is reasonable with powerOne at $39 and RealtyJuggler Calculator at $9, and both are an excellent value. Texas Instruments sells a traditional financial calculator for $59, which is far harder to use than either product. Since both products offer a free trial, the best approach is to install both and see which one suits your work-style the best. If you find that after 30 days you are still using one, go ahead and purchase it.
