Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Math24 Puzzle at every 2 months against Buttons and Scissors's every 12 months. Math24 Puzzle also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Buttons and Scissors's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 40). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Buttons and Scissors holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buttons and Scissors has 1.7K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Buttons and Scissors's written reviews are positive against 87% of Math24 Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Buttons and Scissors ships an update every 12 months, Math24 Puzzle every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
