Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Balance Math at none against FlashToPass's 3. Balance Math also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). FlashToPass's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 18 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
