SUBTRACTION is a smart math app that teaches children how to subtract multi-digit numbers together. It monitors what the student knows and where they still need practice. It teaches step-by-step how to subtract small numbers and then progresses to multi-borrow subtraction. SUBTRACTION is encouragement-based providing positive reinforcement for the student's effort both visually and auditorily. The student, parents, and teachers can all quickly see where the student needs more practice in a color-coded format. Go from simple math facts like 3-1=2 to more difficult equations such as 904-795, with the app showing you the correct answer if you make a mistake. Full customization is possible including choosing the specific digit combinations you want to review or practice. Excellent for beginners just learning subtraction or a quick review for slightly older students. Students practice writing numbers too. AI converts the student's handwritten numbers into digits. Single-digit subtraction is free. Multi-digit subtraction with borrowing along with custom colors, specific numbers to learn, different character voices, and background music requires an in-app purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fun Addition at none against Subtraction Mathematics's 1. Fun Addition also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Subtraction Mathematics's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
