Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MyKeyboard at Free against The Math Keyboard's $0.99. MyKeyboard also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). The Math Keyboard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
