Verdict

The call

Monster Math 2 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). 3rd Grade Math Learning Games's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 63%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monster Math 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Math 2 has 6.5K ratings behind it against 235, 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 71% of 3rd Grade Math Learning Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monster Math 2 ships an update fortnightly, 3rd Grade Math Learning Games monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
