Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Math by Anna at every 2 days against GED's every 7 months. Math by Anna also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). GED's advantage is ratings volume (677 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
