# Big Math Flash Cards vs Prodigy Math Game

The clearest difference is rating: Prodigy Math Game at 4.8 against Big Math Flash Cards's 4.2. Prodigy Math Game also leads on chart position (#135 vs unranked) and ratings volume (239K vs 40K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Big Math Flash Cards sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Prodigy Math Game sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Prodigy Math Game holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prodigy Math Game has 239K ratings behind it against 40K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Big Math Flash Cards's written reviews are positive against 71% of Prodigy Math Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Big Math Flash Cards ships an update every 2 months, Prodigy Math Game every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
