Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Math Duel at 4.5 against Arithmetic Wiz's 2.0. Math Duel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support 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
Both are free to download. Math Duel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Arithmetic Wiz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Math Duel holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Duel has 235 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Math Duel's written reviews are positive against 67% of Arithmetic Wiz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Math Duel ships an update every 6 weeks, Arithmetic Wiz every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
