Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Monkey Math at 4.6 against eKids's 4.0. Monkey Math also leads on ratings volume (338 vs 4). eKids's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monkey Math holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monkey Math has 338 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Monkey Math's written reviews are positive against 100% of eKids's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monkey Math ships an update every 3 months, eKids every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
