# Tap Math vs Math Games

The clearest difference is ads: Tap Math at none against Math Games's shown. Tap Math also leads on ratings volume (774 vs 51). Math Games's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tap Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Math Games sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Games holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tap Math has 774 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Tap Math's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Games's.

Tap Math ships an update every 3 months, Math Games every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
