Math Games is free to download; Math Drills costs $1.99 up front. Math Games sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Math Drills asks for nothing beyond the download.
Math Games holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Games has 1.6K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Math Drills's written reviews are positive against 66% of Math Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Math Drills ships an update every 4 months, Math Games every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
