# Alpha Omega vs Mathle

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. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alpha Omega has 5.7K ratings behind it against 454, so its average is the more settled of the two. 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.
