Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Boddle at Free against Monkey Math's $2.99. Boddle also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 20) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Monkey Math's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (89% vs 76%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Boddle holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boddle has 12K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Monkey Math's written reviews are positive against 76% of Boddle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monkey Math ships an update every 5 months, Boddle every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
