# Mathopolis vs Monster Math

The clearest difference is price: Monster Math at Free against Mathopolis's $1.99. Monster Math also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 79). Mathopolis's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (91% vs 67%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Monster Math is free to download; Mathopolis costs $1.99 up front. Monster Math sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Mathopolis asks for nothing beyond the download.

Monster Math holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Math has 35K ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Mathopolis's written reviews are positive against 67% of Monster Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mathopolis ships an update every 5 months, Monster Math every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
