Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mathseeds at 4.6 against LiteracyPlanet's 2.3. Mathseeds also leads on ratings volume (253 vs 3) and review sentiment (46% vs 22%). LiteracyPlanet's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
