Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Subtraction Wiz Lite at 4.0 against MathTappers's 3.4. Subtraction Wiz Lite also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 61 months). MathTappers's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subtraction Wiz Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MathTappers asks for nothing beyond the download.
Subtraction Wiz Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathTappers has 118 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of MathTappers's written reviews are positive against 67% of Subtraction Wiz Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MathTappers ships an update every 61 months, Subtraction Wiz Lite every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
