No waiting 24h. Play as many games as you want every day! Guess the OPERATION in 6 tries. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the solution. Rules: · There are 8 “characters” · A “character” is one of "0123456789+-*/=" · Every OPERATION must be a calculation that is mathematically correct. So it must have one “=” · The number on the right of the “=” is just a number (not another calculation) · Standard order of operations applies, so calculate * and / before + and - · Order matters in MATHLE. If the answer we’re looking for is 12+35=47, then 35+12=47 isn’t correct. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mathle at every 5 days against Alpha Omega's monthly. Mathle also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 73%). Alpha Omega's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 454) and iOS requirement (13.5 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alpha Omega sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mathle sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Alpha Omega against 4.7 for Mathle.

Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of Alpha Omega's written reviews are positive against 87% of Mathle's.
Alpha Omega ships an update monthly, Mathle every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
