Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tynker at 4.6 against Math Olympics's 4.0. Tynker also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Math Olympics's advantage is iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
