Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Math Ninja AR at 4.5 against Math Ninjas's 3.5. Math Ninja AR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Math Ninjas's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 28%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Ninjas sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Math Ninja AR asks for nothing beyond the download.
Math Ninja AR holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Ninja AR has 299 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Math Ninjas's written reviews are positive against 28% of Math Ninja AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Math Ninjas ships an update every 7 months, Math Ninja AR every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
