Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Math. at 4.7 against Test Prep's 3.5. Math. also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). Test Prep's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads and in-app purchases 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Math. sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Test Prep sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math. holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math. has 1.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
