Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 6th Grade Math at Free against MathBoard Fractions's $4.99. 6th Grade Math also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 57%). MathBoard Fractions's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On update cadence, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MathBoard Fractions holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathBoard Fractions has 61 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of MathBoard Fractions's written reviews are positive against 67% of 6th Grade Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MathBoard Fractions ships an update every 6 months, 6th Grade Math every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 21, 2026 respectively.
