Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fraction Circles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drill Math Word Problems has 56 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Fraction Circles's written reviews are positive against 37% of Drill Math Word Problems's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fraction Circles ships an update every 12 months, Drill Math Word Problems every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
