Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Number Sum at 4.6 against Math Cross's 4.0. Number Sum also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 49). Math Cross's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Number Sum holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Number Sum has 2.3K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Math Cross's written reviews are positive against 21% of Number Sum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
