Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BrainPOP Jr. at free with in-app purchases against Adapted math's subscription. BrainPOP Jr. also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (21K vs 137). Adapted math's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. BrainPOP Jr. sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Adapted math sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BrainPOP Jr. holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BrainPOP Jr. has 21K ratings behind it against 137, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of BrainPOP Jr.'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Adapted math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BrainPOP Jr. ships an update every 6 weeks, Adapted math weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
