Verdict

The call

Math Learner and Speed Math both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Speed Math's written reviews are positive against 23% of Math Learner's. Speed Math also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Math Learner's advantage is ratings volume (121K vs 63). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math Learner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Learner has 121K ratings behind it against 63, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Math Learner's written reviews are positive against 78% of Speed Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Math Learner ships an update every 2 weeks, Speed Math every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
