Verdict

The call

King of Math and Math Learner both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of King of Math's written reviews are positive against 23% of Math Learner's. King of Math also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Math Learner's advantage is ratings volume (121K vs 3.1K) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
