# Math Ninjas vs Math Rescue

The clearest difference is rating: Math Rescue at 4.3 against Math Ninjas's 3.5. Math Rescue also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 6). Math Ninjas's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 54%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Math Ninjas sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Math Rescue sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Rescue holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Rescue has 2.5K 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 54% of Math Rescue'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 Rescue monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
