Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Formula MAX at 4.8 against Concrete Engineering's 4.2. Formula MAX also leads on price ($0.99 vs $3.99) and update cadence (every 11 months vs every 23 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Formula MAX costs $0.99 and Concrete Engineering $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Formula MAX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Formula MAX has 52 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Formula MAX ships an update every 11 months, Concrete Engineering every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
