Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Math Square at Free against Terminal Detective's $9.99. Math Square also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Terminal Detective's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 9 days). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
