    Freemium is the way to go. Is it suitable for an app? Not, really. It's not something people do on a regular basis, neither it has features that couldn't be implemented in a website / webapp.

    I wouldn't see the value in creating mac/win versions of this - feels like something best suited to a web app. (who would search the app stores for something like this?)

    As for monetisation - I can't think of a clear way just yet. the "pro" model seems appropriate - perhaps with ads for those who want to use it for free (maybe don't use an ad network so they don't get blocked by adblockers).

      It's very helpful, I think I could have a printable version of the calculation results as a nicely formatted PDF as a lead magnet. Thanks for the suggestion!
