# Math Masters vs Bounce Merge

The clearest difference is rating: Bounce Merge at 4.7 against Math Masters's 4.0. Bounce Merge also leads on ratings volume (62K vs 12) and chart position (#194 vs unranked). Math Masters's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Masters sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bounce Merge sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bounce Merge holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bounce Merge has 62K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Math Masters's written reviews are positive against 41% of Bounce Merge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
