Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Math Workout at 5.0 against Mental Math's 4.0. Math Workout also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Mental Math's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, update cadence, 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. Mental Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Math Workout sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Math Workout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Workout has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mental Math's written reviews are positive against 85% of Math Workout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mental Math ships an update every 2 weeks, Math Workout every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
