Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Math Trainer at 78% against Mental Math Trainer's 58%. Mental Math Trainer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Math Trainer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mental Math Trainer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mental Math Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mental Math Trainer has 233 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Math Trainer's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mental Math Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Math Trainer ships an update every 2 months, Mental Math Trainer fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
