# Splash Mini vs MatHop

Splash Mini and MatHop both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of MatHop's written reviews are positive against 53% of Splash Mini's. MatHop also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Splash Mini's advantage is ratings volume (6.7K vs 16) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Mini sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and MatHop sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Splash Mini against 4.6 for MatHop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Mini has 6.7K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of Splash Mini's written reviews are positive against 100% of MatHop's.

Splash Mini ships an update every 3 weeks, MatHop every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 28, 2026 respectively.
