Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iLearn at none against Math Boost Start's 1. iLearn also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 57%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Math Boost Start's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math Boost Start holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of iLearn's written reviews are positive against 57% of Math Boost Start's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iLearn ships an update every 2 months, Math Boost Start every 6 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
