Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mental Math Quiz at Free against Math Drills's $1.99. Mental Math Quiz also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). Math Drills's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
