My guess would be it does almost everything that flopzilla does (maybe in a different way though, features don't map 1-to-1; but the same 'answers' you get out of FZ you can get out of Combonator), 70% of what equilab does (comonator isn't an equity calculator per se - there are no postflop range vs range calcs, no multiway hands, no 'equity trainer' guessing thing), and does a ton of stuff that no other tool can do (except for cardrunners EV, which can pretty much do everything, it just takes a long time).
For the 'ton of stuff', the major thing unique to Combonator among these tools is the multiple group hand grid, which allows combination and equity calculations arbitrarily across up to 8 groups, with calculations done on the fly, auto-selections to quickly build postflop ranges, etc. It's much more exploratory because there's no calculate buttons
Fwiw, I and a bunch of other users that i've talked to use this as a 'study stack':
- Combonator as the go-to tool first, and that usually is the only tool you need for most 'questions' or general situation exploration
- Cardrunners EV if you want to get hardcore and run out simultaneous
- Equilab in reserve if you need multiway hands, postflop RvR equities etc. Make use of Combonator's one-hotkey to send ranges etc over to equilab when needed.
