Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iHomework at none against Mathway's 12. iHomework also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Mathway's advantage is chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
