# Mental Math Cards Games & Tips vs Area Quiz

The clearest difference is monetization model: Area Quiz at free with in-app purchases against Mental Math Cards Games & Tips's subscription. Area Quiz also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Mental Math Cards Games & Tips's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mental Math Cards Games & Tips sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Area Quiz sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Area Quiz holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mental Math Cards Games & Tips has 60K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Mental Math Cards Games & Tips's written reviews are positive against 63% of Area Quiz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mental Math Cards Games & Tips ships an update fortnightly, Area Quiz every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
