Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SparkStories at 100% against Math Learner's 23%. SparkStories also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Math Learner's advantage is ratings volume (121K vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Learner sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and SparkStories sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SparkStories holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Learner has 121K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of Math Learner's written reviews are positive against 100% of SparkStories's.
Math Learner ships an update every 2 weeks, SparkStories weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
