# Splash Mini vs Math

The clearest difference is ads: Splash Mini at none against Math's shown. Splash Mini also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 19) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Math's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Mini sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Math sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Mini has 6.7K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Splash Mini's written reviews are positive against 50% of Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Splash Mini ships an update every 3 weeks, Math every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
