Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Monster Academy at Free against Addition Practice's $1.99. Monster Academy also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Addition Practice's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
