# Monkey Math vs eKids

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.

Both are free to download. Monkey Math sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and eKids sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
