# SplashLearn vs Math Flash

The clearest difference is update cadence: SplashLearn at every 9 days against Math Flash's every 3 months. SplashLearn also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 104) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). Math Flash's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 75%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SplashLearn sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Math Flash sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for SplashLearn against 4.5 for Math Flash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SplashLearn has 32K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of SplashLearn's written reviews are positive against 89% of Math Flash's.

SplashLearn ships an update every 9 days, Math Flash every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
