Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Encode at 4.8 against Mental Arithmetic For Learn's 3.9. Encode also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 7). Mental Arithmetic For Learn's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Encode sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Mental Arithmetic For Learn sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Encode holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Encode has 6.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Encode's written reviews are positive against 92% of Mental Arithmetic For Learn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Encode ships an update every 2 weeks, Mental Arithmetic For Learn every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
