# Math Problems 1st vs Algebra Tutor

The clearest difference is rating: Math Problems 1st at 4.7 against Algebra Tutor's 3.0. Math Problems 1st also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 3). Algebra Tutor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Problems 1st sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Algebra Tutor sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Problems 1st holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Problems 1st has 13K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Math Problems 1st's written reviews are positive against 100% of Algebra Tutor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
