# Bake vs BakerMath

The clearest difference is rating: BakerMath at 5.0 against Bake's 4.5. BakerMath also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Bake's advantage is ratings volume (183 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bake sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and BakerMath sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BakerMath holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bake has 183 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Bake's written reviews are positive against 100% of BakerMath's.

Bake ships an update every 2 weeks, BakerMath monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
