# Fraction Challenge vs AlgoRun

The clearest difference is rating: AlgoRun at 4.8 against Fraction Challenge's 4.5. AlgoRun also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Fraction Challenge's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 78) and review sentiment (70% vs 57%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fraction Challenge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AlgoRun sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AlgoRun holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fraction Challenge has 1.5K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Fraction Challenge's written reviews are positive against 57% of AlgoRun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fraction Challenge ships an update every 2 months, AlgoRun every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
