Given a list of cities and the distance to travel between each pair of them, the traveling salesman problem, or TSP for short, asks for the shortest route to visit each city and to return to the starting point. The Concorde App computes exact optimal solutions for TSP, based on the Concorde code by Applegate, Bixby, Chvatal, and Cook. Instances of 1,000 or more cities can often be solved exactly, with all computations carried out locally on your iPhone or iPad. The app is a companion to the book "In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman: Mathematics at the Limits of Computation", William Cook, Princeton University Press, 2012. Includes Exact TSP Solver, 3D Points, TSP Art, Map Routing, Tour-Finding Heuristics, Cutting Planes , TSP Challenge, Minimum Spanning Tree, and Perfect Matching modules.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Concorde TSP at 76% against CampusGroups's 12%. Concorde TSP also leads on iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.1). CampusGroups's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CampusGroups holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CampusGroups has 5.3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Concorde TSP's written reviews are positive against 12% of CampusGroups's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Concorde TSP ships an update every 8 months, CampusGroups every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
