| Variables and line references | Yes | Yes |

## Your Soulver lines work in Ratio

Most lines you'd write in Soulver work in Ratio as they are: copy a sheet, paste it into Ratio and the answers appear. Words around the numbers are ignored, variables and line references carry over.

| Rent 1200 #home | 1,200 |
| --- | --- |
| Internet 40 #home | 40 |
| sum #home | 1,240 |
| 20% of 150 | 30 |
| 150 + 20% | 180 |
| 5 km in mi | 3.11 mi |
| 1 mar 2027 + 10 working days | Mon, 15 Mar 2027 |

## What Ratio adds

- Windows and Linux, with one license that can mix them with a Mac
- VAT and sales tax by country: “1000 + VAT”, “1190 without VAT”
- Working days that skip weekends and public holidays
- Loans and interest in plain words: “loan 200k at 5% for 30 years”
- Developer helpers: hex, binary, colours, “chmod 755”, uptime budgets

## When Soulver is still the better pick

You need your sheets on iPhone and iPad, want live stock prices or Wolfram|Alpha answers, or want its longer 60-day trial. On Windows and Linux Ratio also doesn't sync between computers yet. For the Mac-to-Mac comparison see [Ratio vs Soulver](https://useratio.app/ratio-vs-soulver).
