Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mental Math at 100% against Mathematical Expressions's 50%. Mental Math also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Mathematical Expressions's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Mathematical Expressions sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mental Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mathematical Expressions holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mathematical Expressions has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Mathematical Expressions's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mental Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mathematical Expressions ships an update every 2 months, Mental Math every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
