Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MathArena at none against Crystal Math's 3. MathArena also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Crystal Math's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
