Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MathLearner at every 2 months against MathStep's every 7 months. MathLearner also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (122 vs 17). MathStep's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 63%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MathLearner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathLearner has 122 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of MathLearner's written reviews are positive against 82% of MathStep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MathLearner ships an update every 2 months, MathStep every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
