Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Train Your Brain at 4.6 against Tapd's 4.0. Train Your Brain also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 29). Tapd's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 49%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tapd sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Train Your Brain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Train Your Brain holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Your Brain has 5.8K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Tapd's written reviews are positive against 49% of Train Your Brain's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tapd ships an update every 22 months, Train Your Brain every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
