# SymphonyMath vs Touch

The clearest difference is rating: SymphonyMath at 4.3 against Touch's 3.3. SymphonyMath also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (501 vs 50). Touch's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (59% vs 48%). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SymphonyMath holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SymphonyMath has 501 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of SymphonyMath's written reviews are positive against 59% of Touch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SymphonyMath ships an update monthly, Touch every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
