Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Aeronaut at none against CrossMath's shown. Aeronaut also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CrossMath's advantage is ratings volume (129 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
