# MathMaster vs Scholar AI

MathMaster and Scholar AI both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Scholar AI's written reviews are positive against 31% of MathMaster's. Scholar AI also leads on ads (none vs shown). MathMaster's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 11). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MathMaster sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Scholar AI sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for MathMaster against 4.6 for Scholar AI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathMaster has 12K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of MathMaster's written reviews are positive against 67% of Scholar AI's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
