Verdict

The call

Monster Math 2 and Math Learner both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of Monster Math 2's written reviews are positive against 23% of Math Learner's.

Math Learner's advantage is ratings volume (121K vs 6.5K) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
