# Running Games for Kids! vs Ready Math

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Running Games for Kids! at 76% against Ready Math's 29%. Ready Math's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Running Games for Kids! sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Ready Math sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Running Games for Kids!'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Ready Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
