# Monster Math 2 vs Adapted math

The clearest difference is monetization model: Monster Math 2 at free with in-app purchases against Adapted math's subscription. Monster Math 2 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (6.5K vs 138). Adapted math's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 63%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monster Math 2 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per year and Adapted math sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Monster Math 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Math 2 has 6.5K ratings behind it against 138, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Monster Math 2's written reviews are positive against 75% of Adapted math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Monster Math 2 ships an update fortnightly, Adapted math weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
