# Algebra vs Mathleaks

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Algebra at 84% against Mathleaks's 38%. Algebra also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 148). Mathleaks's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Algebra sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Mathleaks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Algebra holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Algebra has 1.3K ratings behind it against 148, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Algebra's written reviews are positive against 38% of Mathleaks's.

Algebra ships an update every 4 months, Mathleaks every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
