Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Math Ascent at weekly against ASVAB's every 7 months. Math Ascent also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ASVAB's advantage is ratings volume (191 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
