# Art Pop! vs MathTango

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MathTango at 76% against Art Pop!'s 0%. MathTango also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 1). Art Pop!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MathTango sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Art Pop! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Art Pop! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathTango has 4.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Art Pop!'s written reviews are positive against 76% of MathTango's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
