# Splash Math vs Scan Coin

Splash Math and Scan Coin both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of Splash Math's written reviews are positive against 14% of Scan Coin's. Splash Math also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Math sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Scan Coin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Splash Math against 4.5 for Scan Coin. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Math has 4.5K ratings behind it against 351, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Splash Math's written reviews are positive against 14% of Scan Coin's.

Splash Math ships an update every 3 weeks, Scan Coin every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
