Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Blendle at free with in-app purchases against Mathematics Today's subscription. Blendle also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (57 vs 3). Mathematics Today's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
