# MathCam vs InkDeck

The clearest difference is rating: InkDeck at 4.0 against MathCam's 1.5. InkDeck also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). MathCam's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MathCam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and InkDeck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InkDeck holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathCam has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MathCam ships an update every 5 months, InkDeck every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
