# Math puzzles vs Math Games

The clearest difference is rating: Math Games at 4.5 against Math puzzles's 3.8. Math Games also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 9 months). Math puzzles's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Math Games holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Games has 1.6K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two.
