Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Math Fun at 97% against Math's 50%. Math Fun also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Math's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Math Fun sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Math sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Math Fun's written reviews are positive against 50% of Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Math Fun ships an update fortnightly, Math every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
