# ABCmouse vs AdaptedMind Math

The clearest difference is rating: AdaptedMind Math at 4.7 against ABCmouse's 4.1. AdaptedMind Math also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). ABCmouse's advantage is ratings volume (146K vs 13K) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ABCmouse sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and AdaptedMind Math sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.95 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AdaptedMind Math holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABCmouse has 146K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of ABCmouse's written reviews are positive against 60% of AdaptedMind Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ABCmouse ships an update every 11 days, AdaptedMind Math every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
