Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MathAthlete at none against Puppy Maze's shown. MathAthlete also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Puppy Maze's advantage is ratings volume (123 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
