Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SplashLearn at none against Math's shown. SplashLearn also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 19) and review sentiment (75% vs 50%). Math's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. SplashLearn sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Math sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SplashLearn has 32K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of SplashLearn's written reviews are positive against 50% of Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
