# SymphonyMath vs Math Facts Fluency

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Math Facts Fluency at 100% against SymphonyMath's 48%. SymphonyMath's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Facts Fluency sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. SymphonyMath asks for nothing beyond the download.

SymphonyMath holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SymphonyMath has 505 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of SymphonyMath's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Facts Fluency's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SymphonyMath ships an update monthly, Math Facts Fluency every 53 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
