Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MATHCOUNTS Trainer at none against Math Interactive's 1. MATHCOUNTS Trainer also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 60%). Math Interactive's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (726 vs 102). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Interactive sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MATHCOUNTS Trainer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Math Interactive holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Interactive has 726 ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of MATHCOUNTS Trainer's written reviews are positive against 60% of Math Interactive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MATHCOUNTS Trainer ships an update every 3 months, Math Interactive every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
