# Math 24 vs Math Cross

The clearest difference is ads: Math 24 at none against Math Cross's shown. Math 24 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Math Cross's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 107). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math 24 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Math Cross sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Math 24 against 4.8 for Math Cross. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Cross has 1.5K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two.
