Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Math Gremlin at 100% against Splash Mini's 53%. Splash Mini's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Splash Mini sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Math Gremlin sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Splash Mini holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Mini has 6.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Splash Mini's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Gremlin'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 Gremlin every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
