Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mathway at 4.9 against GeoGebra Graphing Calculator's 4.3. Mathway also leads on ratings volume (425K vs 284) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). GeoGebra Graphing Calculator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support 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. Mathway sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. GeoGebra Graphing Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mathway holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mathway has 425K ratings behind it against 284, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Mathway's written reviews are positive against 54% of GeoGebra Graphing Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mathway ships an update every 4 weeks, GeoGebra Graphing Calculator monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
