Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BrainNow at none against Clever's 10. BrainNow also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Clever's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
