Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NumBots at none against Math Games's 7. NumBots also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Math Games's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 304). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
