# Mathle vs Sextet

The clearest difference is ads: Sextet at none against Mathle's shown. Sextet also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mathle's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (450 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mathle sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Sextet sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sextet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mathle has 450 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Mathle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sextet's.

Mathle ships an update every 5 days, Sextet every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
