Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Number Board at Free against Bubble Maths's $0.99. Number Board also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 60%). Bubble Maths's advantage is update cadence (every 16 months vs every 76 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Number Board is free to download; Bubble Maths costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bubble Maths holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Maths has 67 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Number Board's written reviews are positive against 60% of Bubble Maths's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Number Board ships an update every 76 months, Bubble Maths every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on August 3, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
