# Pre vs 7th Grade Math Challenge

The clearest difference is rating: Pre at 4.7 against 7th Grade Math Challenge's 3.5. Pre also leads on ratings volume (357 vs 35). 7th Grade Math Challenge's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pre sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and 7th Grade Math Challenge 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 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pre has 357 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Pre's written reviews are positive against 83% of 7th Grade Math Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pre ships an update every 6 months, 7th Grade Math Challenge every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
