# Splash Mini vs Tap Times Tables

The clearest difference is price: Splash Mini at Free against Tap Times Tables's $2.99. Splash Mini also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 100). Tap Times Tables's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (90% vs 56%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Splash Mini is free to download; Tap Times Tables costs $2.99 up front. Splash Mini sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Tap Times Tables asks for nothing beyond the download.

Splash Mini holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Mini has 6.7K ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Splash Mini's written reviews are positive against 90% of Tap Times Tables'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, Tap Times Tables every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
