# Matemaslik vs Basic Math

The clearest difference is rating: Basic Math at 4.5 against Matemaslik's 3.8. Basic Math also leads on ratings volume (339 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Matemaslik's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Matemaslik sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Basic Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Basic Math holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basic Math has 339 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Matemaslik's written reviews are positive against 85% of Basic Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Matemaslik ships an update every 5 weeks, Basic Math monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
