# Math Games vs Math Gremlin

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.

Both are free to download. Math Games sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Math Gremlin sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
