# Math AI vs Mathematics

The clearest difference is ads: Mathematics at none against Math AI's shown. Mathematics also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 59%). Math AI's advantage is ratings volume (452 vs 11) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Mathematics sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Math AI against 4.4 for Mathematics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math AI has 452 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Math AI's written reviews are positive against 88% of Mathematics's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
