Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Math Trainer at none against Mental Math's shown. Math Trainer also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 63%). Mental Math's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Trainer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mental Math sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mental Math holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 57 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Math Trainer's written reviews are positive against 63% of Mental Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Math Trainer ships an update every 2 months, Mental Math every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
