Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Splash Math at Free against Subtraction School ! !'s $4.99. Splash Math also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). Subtraction School ! !'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Subtraction School ! ! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Math has 4.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Subtraction School ! !'s written reviews are positive against 63% of Splash Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Subtraction School ! ! ships an update every 12 months, Splash Math every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
