Verdict
Math Learner and MathHero both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of MathHero's written reviews are positive against 23% of Math Learner's. MathHero also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Math Learner's advantage is ratings volume (121K vs 12K) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
