Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: LetterSchool at Free against Skip Counting's $3.99. LetterSchool also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and review sentiment (55% vs 25%). Skip Counting's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skip Counting holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LetterSchool has 17K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Skip Counting's written reviews are positive against 55% of LetterSchool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Skip Counting ships an update every 14 months, LetterSchool every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
