# Math Challenge vs Dig This!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Math Challenge at 100% against Dig This!'s 55%. Math Challenge also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Dig This!'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (632K vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dig This! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Math Challenge asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dig This! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dig This! has 632K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Math Challenge's written reviews are positive against 55% of Dig This!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Math Challenge ships an update every 2 months, Dig This! monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
