Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 9BLOCK at none against Math 24's 4. 9BLOCK also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Math 24's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
