Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pre at 4.7 against Algebra 1's 4.3. Pre also leads on ratings volume (357 vs 4) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). Algebra 1's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Pre sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and Algebra 1 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pre holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pre has 357 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Pre's written reviews are positive against 50% of Algebra 1's.
Pre ships an update every 6 months, Algebra 1 every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
