# Math vs Math Duel

The clearest difference is monetization model: Math at free with in-app purchases against Math Duel's subscription. Math also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Math Duel's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 50%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Math Duel sells 4 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 — 4.8 for Math against 4.7 for Math Duel. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Duel has 425 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Math's written reviews are positive against 83% of Math Duel's.

Math ships an update every 9 days, Math Duel every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
