First-principles & equation-oriented modeling
MaximaLabs vs gPROMS
Equation-oriented and custom-equation modeling in the browser, with an AI copilot — accessible first-principles modeling without the desktop or the price.
gPROMS (Siemens / PSE) is the gold standard for rigorous first-principles, equation-oriented, and custom DAE modeling — deep, powerful, and expensive. MaximaLabs offers an equation-oriented simultaneous solver and a custom-equation engine in the browser, with an AI copilot and collaboration, at screening-to-intermediate fidelity for a fraction of the cost.
An honest comparison
Where gPROMS is genuinely stronger
- Deep, rigorous first-principles DAE modeling and advanced custom-model development
- Established gPROMS FormulatedProducts / model libraries and validation heritage
Where MaximaLabs wins
- Equation-oriented simultaneous solver + a custom-equation engine, in any browser
- AI copilot to build models and explain failures; live collaboration; usage pricing
- One unified model across simulation, digital twin, and APC — no export/re-import
The honest positioning
Being straight about the wedge is the point.
MaximaLabs makes equation-oriented and custom-equation modeling accessible and collaborative — strongest for teams who want browser-based, AI-assisted modeling without a gPROMS-scale license, not a replacement for its deepest rigorous-DAE and advanced-model-development work.
