# Mimo vs Math Zen

The clearest difference is ads: Math Zen at none against Mimo's shown. Math Zen also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Mimo's advantage is ratings volume (111K vs 6) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mimo sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Math Zen sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Mimo against 4.8 for Math Zen. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mimo has 111K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Mimo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Zen's.

Mimo ships an update weekly, Math Zen every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
