Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Brain Challenge at every 10 days against Train Your Brain's every 3 months. Brain Challenge also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 49%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Train Your Brain's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 66). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Brain Challenge sells 2 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 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Your Brain has 5.7K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Brain Challenge'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.
Brain Challenge ships an update every 10 days, Train Your Brain every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
