Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MathHero at 4.6 against Math Slide's 4.1. MathHero also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 16) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Math Slide's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Math Slide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MathHero sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MathHero holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathHero has 12K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Math Slide's written reviews are positive against 85% of MathHero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Math Slide ships an update every 2 months, MathHero every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
