# Maple Calculator vs Equation Solver & Simplifier

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Maple Calculator at 1.5K against Equation Solver & Simplifier's 10. Maple Calculator also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Equation Solver & Simplifier's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 62%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Maple Calculator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Equation Solver & Simplifier sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Maple Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maple Calculator has 1.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Maple Calculator's written reviews are positive against 75% of Equation Solver & Simplifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Maple Calculator ships an update every 2 months, Equation Solver & Simplifier every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
