# SplashLearn vs Math

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.

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.

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.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
