# Basic Math vs Grammar Up

The clearest difference is rating: Grammar Up at 4.7 against Basic Math's 3.0. Grammar Up also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (39 vs 1). Basic Math's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (64% vs 43%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grammar Up sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Basic Math asks for nothing beyond the download.

Grammar Up holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grammar Up has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Basic Math's written reviews are positive against 43% of Grammar Up's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
