# Splash Math vs 2nd Grade Math

The clearest difference is rating: Splash Math at 4.6 against 2nd Grade Math's 4.0. Splash Math also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Math sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and 2nd Grade Math sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
