APPLE INTELLIGENCE On iPhone and iPad models with Apple Intelligence, Pip's greeting and Coach Hint explanations can be written on your device. The game always works out the answer itself. On iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, Private Cloud Compute stays off until you turn it on in Settings. When it is on, Coach Hint can send only the line it is explaining to Apple's Private Cloud Compute to word Pip's explanation. RoxyKovu never receives it. ADS A full-screen ad plays at the break after some finished puzzles, and you do not choose it. Rewarded videos are optional and start only when you tap Watch Ad. Remove Ads Forever, an active Daily Club subscription, or the Complete Puzzle Library turns the between-puzzle ads off. Every ad is limited to content rated for general audiences. SumSquare asks once for the year you were born, keeps only an age setting on your device, and never saves the year. Ads for players under 16 are never personalized. SUBSCRIPTIONS Daily Club Monthly (1 month, auto-renewable). Daily Club Yearly (1 year, auto-renewable). Puzzle packs, coin packs, and all other in-app purchases are one-time purchases and do not auto-renew. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mathgrid at none against SumSquare's shown. Mathgrid also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). SumSquare's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
