Based on the data on this page, BrainPOP is the stronger choice for most Google Workspace Marketplace merchants — 4.6★ vs MathType's 3.9★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. On pricing, MathType offers a free tier (Free of charge trial) while BrainPOP starts at Not available. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly for stores at sub-1K monthly orders where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered. MathType has the larger user base (2,438 reviews vs 10), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. BrainPOP's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to BrainPOP; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — MathType's 2,438-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than BrainPOP's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Google Workspace Marketplace listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Both apps are one-click installs from the Google Workspace Marketplace marketplace. MathType has more onboarding documentation maturity (2,438 reviews vs 10), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value.

BrainPOP typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (10 reviews). MathType aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (2,438 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. BrainPOP and MathType both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from BrainPOP" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
