#2Plus points:
Does not suffer from the time limits of free wolfram and the nlp parsing issues in general with wolfram
Negative points:
Somewhat more limited repertoire, and things sometimes need to be rephrased or rearranged to trick an answer out of it.

Surprisingly, the command to plot solutions of odes is much better and more interactive than Mathematica’s despite the interface being “uglier”.

It uses gnuplot I think as its frontend.
Gnuplot is quite powerful if you understand it and can trick it correctly.
Regarding the interface being ugly it kinda also depends on which graphical frontend gnuplot is using, there are multiple. I like the Qt one.

#5with a bit of elbow greece you can also integrate it with your common lisp application. and i mean this entirely, not just in an api sense

#8How does it compare to SymPy?

#9It's also available as an Android app, MaximaOnAndroid. I love having it on my phone, even though I rarely actually use it :)

I understand.
