Soulver is MacOs/iOS only, and Frink works ~everywhere?

Is that the only value proposition? Given the apparent complexity of using Frink, I figured there should be some other upsides

#16I wrote a similar tool that uses the same unit database (from GNU units) but is open source, has a somewhat better online interface [1] and a crappier app [2]

Frink is a full-fledged programming language, so you can read data from files, write functions, access web-based data, repeat calculations, process text, create data structures, etc.
In short, it is a Turing-complete system. Soulver isn't, and that's a huge difference.
