Art of Stat vs Simplex Linear Programming
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Art of Stat
This app is a statistical calculator for performing confidence intervals and hypothesis tests on proportions and means. It offers various tests including z-tests, t-tests, McNemar's test, and ANOVA, with clear visualizations of results and P-values. It also includes a data editor and works offline.
- Inference for proportions (z-test, two sample z-test, McNemar)
- Inference for means (t-test, two-sample t-test, paired t-test, ANOVA)
- Chi-Square tests (Goodness of Fit, Independence)
- Data editor for creating, editing, and importing datasets
- Visualizations of confidence intervals and P-values
- Offline mode for exam use
- Result sharing via screenshots

********** News: The Inference app is now part of the all new "Art of Stat" app, a single app that contains Inference and seven other modules (Explore Data, Distributions, Concepts, Regression, Machine Learning, Resampling and Data Editor) Please consider getting the Art of Stat app for the latest updates and features from the App Store. Simply search for "Ar of Stat" on the App Store. This app will continue to work, but future development is concentrated on the new Art of Stat app. ********* Statistical calculator for inference (confidence intervals and hypothesis tests) about proportions and means. The Art of Stat: Inference app provides: - Inference for Proportions + one sample (z-test) + two independent samples (two sample z-test) + two dependent samples (McNemar) - Inference for Means + one sample (t-test) + two independent samples (two-sample t-test) + two dependent samples (paired t-test) + several means (One-way ANOVA) - Chi-Square Test + Goodness of Fit (one sample) + Independence/Homogeneity (contingency table) - Data Editor + Create or edit datasets Unlock all modules for a one-time small fee! Entering your own data is easy: If you just have a few observations (or if you have the summary statistics), simply type them in. For larger datasets, upload a CSV file of your raw data to a cloud account (such as iCloud or Google Drive) or email the file to yourself and save it on your device. Then, open the CSV file in the app and select the variables for your analysis. You can also simply copy & paste raw data from a spreadsheet app (such as Numbers on iOS or Google sheets). To illustrate all methods, several example datasets are provided for each procedure. The results are stunning: The app provides relevant plots (side-by-side or stacked bar charts, boxplots, histograms) and computes and visualizes confidence intervals and P-values for testing hypotheses. All relevant information (such as standard errors, margin of errors, z- or t-scores and degrees of freedom) are clearly displayed and labeled. The P-value is visualized on a graph for the normal, t-, Chi-Squared or F-distribution. Developed for both students and teachers as a handy tool for carrying out basic statistical inference and visualize results on the fly. The app works in on- and offline mode (the app indicates that it is in offline mode with a large green banner), which makes it suitable for exams. Easily share your results by taking screenshots.
Simplex Linear Programming

Master the mechanics of Linear Programming with an industrial-grade, visual Simplex solver. Whether you are an undergraduate student tackling Operations Research homework or an engineer optimizing complex systems, this app provides a high-performance, native environment to solve and visualize linear models. Built with Apple’s Accelerate Framework (vDSP), the engine performs hardware-accelerated matrix operations for desktop-class speed on your mobile device. Why this is the ultimate optimization tool: Visualize the Feasible Region: See your constraints come to life on an interactive Canvas. Plot the quadrant, identify intersection points, and explore the feasible region with intuitive gestures. The Simplex Journey: Watch the algorithm navigate from the origin to the optimal solution. Our "Visual Walker" tracks every iteration, highlighting each vertex transition with a clear, orange path. Professional Grade Logic: Full support for Big-M and Two-Phase methods. Easily handle ≤, ≥, and = constraints without needing to manually convert your model. Precision Entry: Clean, monospaced interface featuring color-coded inputs for coefficients, objective goals, and variable signs. Education-First Design: Perfect for learning the geometry behind the algebra. Follow the path, analyze the coordinate labels, and see exactly where the "Optimal" solution sits in the coordinate plane. Purely Native: No web wrappers or lag. Experience a fluid SwiftUI interface designed for "Engineering Soul"—performance, clarity, and reliability. Student & Professional Value Proposition For Students: Use it as a powerful "Check Your Work" tool. Compare your manual pivot steps against the visual path and verify your feasible region boundaries. For Professionals: Quickly prototype constraints and objectives on the go with a solver that respects hardware limitations and mathematical rigor.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Art of Stat at Free against Simplex Linear Programming's $1.99. Art of Stat also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Simplex Linear Programming's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
