# Splash Math vs Monster Math

The clearest difference is update cadence: Monster Math at every 4 days against Splash Math's every 3 weeks. Monster Math also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 4.5K). Splash Math's advantage is chart position (#189 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Math sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Monster Math sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. 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 Monster Math. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Math has 35K ratings behind it against 4.5K, 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 67% of Monster Math's.

Splash Math ships an update every 3 weeks, Monster Math every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
