# Math Run vs Math Games

The clearest difference is rating: Math Games at 4.6 against Math Run's 3.7. Math Games also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 59%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 172). Math Run's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Run sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Math Games sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Games holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Games has 1.3K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two.
