# Photo Math vs MathGo

The clearest difference is rating: Photo Math at 4.6 against MathGo's 1.0. Photo Math also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 1) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). MathGo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Math sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and MathGo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Math holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Math has 3.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Photo Math ships an update every 2 weeks, MathGo every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
