Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Monster Math 2 at Free against Subtraction Math's $1.99. Monster Math 2 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Subtraction Math's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and device support (5 vs 3). On ads there is nothing between them.
