# Monster Math vs Fluent

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fluent at none against Monster Math's 3. Fluent also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Monster Math's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (35K vs 8). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monster Math sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Fluent asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Monster Math against 4.5 for Fluent. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Math has 35K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Monster Math's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fluent's.

Monster Math ships an update every 4 days, Fluent every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
