Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mathcat at 50% against Medschool AI's 0%. Mathcat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). Medschool AI's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.3). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Mathcat sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Medschool AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Medschool AI holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Mathcat's written reviews are positive against 0% of Medschool AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mathcat ships an update every 2 weeks, Medschool AI every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
