# GRE vs Math Review

The clearest difference is monetization model: Math Review at free against GRE's free with in-app purchases. Math Review also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). GRE's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (172 vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GRE sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and Math Review sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GRE holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GRE has 172 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of GRE's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Review's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GRE ships an update every 6 months, Math Review every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
