# Brain Challenge vs Worm Out

The clearest difference is rating: Worm Out at 4.8 against Brain Challenge's 4.4. Worm Out also leads on ratings volume (5.9K vs 66). Brain Challenge's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (61% vs 47%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Challenge sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Worm Out sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Worm Out holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Worm Out has 5.9K 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 47% of Worm Out'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, Worm Out every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
