# Sixle vs Mathle

The clearest difference is ads: Sixle at none against Mathle's shown. Sixle also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Mathle's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 57%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sixle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mathle sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
