Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Impulse at 849K against Math Flash Brain Training's 12. Impulse also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). Math Flash Brain Training's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (81% vs 69%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
