# Smart Tales vs MathMod

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MathMod at none against Smart Tales's 17. MathMod also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Smart Tales's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 2) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Tales sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. MathMod asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Smart Tales against 4.5 for MathMod. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Tales has 18K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Smart Tales's written reviews are positive against 67% of MathMod's.
