Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mental Calculation at none against Mental Math's 1. Mental Calculation also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). Mental Math's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
