Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MathAthlete at none against Tetra Block's shown. MathAthlete also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Tetra Block's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
