# EduMath2 vs Poppel

The clearest difference is rating: Poppel at 5.0 against EduMath2's 4.2. Poppel also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 months). EduMath2's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EduMath2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Poppel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Poppel holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EduMath2 has 1.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

EduMath2 ships an update every 8 months, Poppel every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
