# Quick Math vs Times Tables

The clearest difference is rating: Times Tables at 4.5 against Quick Math's 4.2. Times Tables also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (7K vs 885). Quick Math's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Math sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Times Tables sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Times Tables holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Times Tables has 7K ratings behind it against 885, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Quick Math's written reviews are positive against 65% of Times Tables's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quick Math ships an update every 2 months, Times Tables fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
