# Math 24 vs Math Puzzle Games

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Math Puzzle Games at 258K against Math 24's 2.1K. Math Puzzle Games also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Math 24's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math 24 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Math Puzzle Games sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Puzzle Games holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Puzzle Games has 258K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Math 24's written reviews are positive against 58% of Math Puzzle Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Math 24 ships an update every 6 weeks, Math Puzzle Games fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
