Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Math Games at 4.6 against Math Gremlin's 3.8. Math Games also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Math Gremlin's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math Games holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Games has 1.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Math Games's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Gremlin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Math Games ships an update every 3 weeks, Math Gremlin every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
