Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Math Solver Pro at none against Mathway's shown. Math Solver Pro also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Mathway's advantage is ratings volume (425K vs 9) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
