# SnapCalc vs Mental Math Quiz

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mental Math Quiz at 81% against SnapCalc's 25%. Mental Math Quiz also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). SnapCalc's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 690) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SnapCalc sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Mental Math Quiz sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mental Math Quiz holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnapCalc has 41K ratings behind it against 690, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of SnapCalc's written reviews are positive against 81% of Mental Math Quiz's.

SnapCalc ships an update monthly, Mental Math Quiz every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
