Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: i at 4.2 against Math Ninjas's 3.5. i also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 7 months). Math Ninjas's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (64% vs 43%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. i sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Math Ninjas sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

i holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of i's written reviews are positive against 64% of Math Ninjas's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

i ships an update every 6 days, Math Ninjas every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
