# ThinkingBaseball vs Math Facts

The clearest difference is update cadence: ThinkingBaseball at every 6 weeks against Math Facts's every 9 months. ThinkingBaseball also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Math Facts's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 65%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThinkingBaseball sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Math Facts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ThinkingBaseball holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.1K and 16K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of ThinkingBaseball's written reviews are positive against 80% of Math Facts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ThinkingBaseball ships an update every 6 weeks, Math Facts every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
