# AnyFont vs MathKey

The clearest difference is rating: AnyFont at 4.6 against MathKey's 3.9. AnyFont also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 339) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). MathKey's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

AnyFont costs $1.99 and MathKey $4.99 up front. AnyFont sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MathKey asks for nothing beyond the download.

AnyFont holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AnyFont has 26K ratings behind it against 339, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of AnyFont's written reviews are positive against 48% of MathKey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AnyFont ships an update every 2 months, MathKey every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
