# Pi vs Mathle

The clearest difference is ads: Pi at none against Mathle's shown. Pi also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 450) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Mathle's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pi sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and Mathle sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Pi against 4.7 for Mathle. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.7K and 450 respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Pi's written reviews are positive against 88% of Mathle's.

Pi ships an update every 3 months, Mathle every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
