Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Math Command at 5.0 against Sidius Nova's 4.4. Math Command also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Sidius Nova's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (49 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sidius Nova sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Math Command sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math Command holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sidius Nova has 49 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Sidius Nova's written reviews are positive against 75% of Math Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sidius Nova ships an update every 3 months, Math Command every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
