SimplexLP solves linear optimization problems, which can be mathematically described with an objective function and a set of constraints. With the new graphical representation (possible with 2 variables only) it is a lot easier to understand the theoretical concept of linear optimization! SimplexLP is the perfect learning companion for teachers (to set up problems) and students (to learn the Simplex algorithm). It is very easy to change coefficients and see how the solution varies. For the calculation the famous Simplex algorithm is used. With SimplexLP you can: – easily set up the objective function and the constraints; – solve maximization and minimization problems; – solve problems with unlimited number of variables and constraints; – solve problems with ≤, ≥ and = (in)equalities; – get all the possible solutions ("edges") to a problem; – get accurate calculations with fractions; – get your output in fractions or decimal values; – set a fixed value in the objective function, e.g. for fixed costs; – set the tab width (via a simple swipe gesture) to format the tableaus; – get a graphical representation of optimization problems with 2 variables. With SimplexLP linear optimization really makes fun!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SimplexLP at 67% against Civil Engineering Calculators's 0%. SimplexLP also leads on price ($3.99 vs $19.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Civil Engineering Calculators's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On update cadence, 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
Civil Engineering Calculators costs $19.99 and SimplexLP $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SimplexLP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Civil Engineering Calculators has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Civil Engineering Calculators's written reviews are positive against 67% of SimplexLP's.
Civil Engineering Calculators ships an update every 14 months, SimplexLP every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
