Plan a tile purchase with TileMath. Enter measured areas and cutouts, tile size, grout gap and a waste allowance. The tile count is an estimate, not a cutting plan. Use the fraction-inch keypad or metric measurements. Add up to 20 area and cutout rows. Enter packaging by tile count or coverage, use prices per box, per m² or per sq ft, and choose extra spare boxes separately from installation waste. Review purchase quantities, coverage, estimated cost, grout and tile adhesive in the purchase list. The pattern preview is illustrative. Check the package coverage, product instructions and the retailer’s return policy before buying. Material amounts are estimates; actual use depends on the product and installation. Calculations work offline. History is stored on your device. Copy a result as text or share an image. No account is required. The app includes ads and offers a one-time purchase to remove them. Ads, consent services, analytics, crash reporting and purchases can use the network. Available in 14 interface languages. Currency markers label amounts; they do not convert currencies.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TileCount at none against TileMath's shown. TileMath's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
