Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fast Math at 5.0 against MathRise's 4.0. Fast Math also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MathRise's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fast Math sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and MathRise sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fast Math holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Fast Math's written reviews are positive against 100% of MathRise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fast Math ships an update every 4 months, MathRise weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
