# DoodleMath vs Lilla Math

The clearest difference is rating: Lilla Math at 4.8 against DoodleMath's 4.0. DoodleMath's advantage is ratings volume (235 vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DoodleMath sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Lilla Math sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lilla Math holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoodleMath has 235 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
