ChantCode helps children build multiplication automaticity through rhythmic multiplication chants and focused recall practice. Instead of repeatedly calculating each multiplication fact, children learn to connect the equation directly with a short, memorable spoken pattern. How ChantCode works • Listen to rhythmic multiplication chants • Repeat and memorize multiplication facts • Practice rapid question-and-answer recall • Reinforce learning through interactive challenges • Progress from individual times tables to mixed multiplication practice ChantCode organizes the multiplication facts from 2 × 2 through 9 × 9 into 36 unique core chants by avoiding reversed duplicates. Groups 1 and 10 provide foundation practice. Version 2.7 includes the complete learning experience for everyone at no additional cost: Groups 1–10, all 36 core chants, group activities, multiplication audio and music, mixed tower challenges, the ChantCode Book, Parent Guide, and progress tools. Families are encouraged to begin with Groups 6 and 7, where many children need extra confidence, then continue in order from Group 2 through Group 9. ChantCode requires no account, contains no advertising, and stores learning progress locally on the device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ChantCode at 5.0 against DoodleMath's 4.0. ChantCode also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). DoodleMath's advantage is ratings volume (235 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
