# TeachMe vs Splash Math

The clearest difference is price: Splash Math at Free against TeachMe's $2.99. Splash Math also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 42). TeachMe's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and review sentiment (80% vs 63%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Splash Math is free to download; TeachMe costs $2.99 up front. Splash Math sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. TeachMe asks for nothing beyond the download.

Splash Math holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Math has 4.5K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of TeachMe's written reviews are positive against 63% of Splash Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TeachMe ships an update every 3 months, Splash Math every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
