# Elevate vs Math Riddles

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Elevate at 546K against Math Riddles's 889. Elevate also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). Math Riddles's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elevate sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Math Riddles sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Elevate holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elevate has 546K ratings behind it against 889, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Elevate's written reviews are positive against 56% of Math Riddles's.

Elevate ships an update weekly, Math Riddles monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
