# Basic Math vs Equilibrians (Lite)

The clearest difference is rating: Basic Math at 4.5 against Equilibrians (Lite)'s 4.0. Basic Math also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 105 months) and ratings volume (348 vs 1). Equilibrians (Lite)'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Basic Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Equilibrians (Lite) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Basic Math holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basic Math has 348 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Basic Math's written reviews are positive against 100% of Equilibrians (Lite)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Basic Math ships an update monthly, Equilibrians (Lite) every 105 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
