Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Astral Tutor at none against Musical Multiplication's 3. Astral Tutor also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Musical Multiplication's advantage is ratings volume (161 vs 4) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Musical Multiplication holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Musical Multiplication has 161 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Musical Multiplication's written reviews are positive against 100% of Astral Tutor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Musical Multiplication ships an update every 2 months, Astral Tutor daily. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
