# FastMath vs Math Solver

FastMath and Math Solver both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of Math Solver's written reviews are positive against 17% of FastMath's. Math Solver also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). FastMath's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (51K vs 44). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FastMath sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Math Solver sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for FastMath against 4.2 for Math Solver. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FastMath has 51K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 17% of FastMath's written reviews are positive against 65% of Math Solver's.

FastMath ships an update every 5 days, Math Solver monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 15, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
