# Dumb Test! vs Brain Test

The clearest difference is rating: Brain Test at 4.7 against Dumb Test!'s 3.1. Brain Test also leads on ratings volume (6.5K vs 191) and review sentiment (42% vs 34%). Dumb Test!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dumb Test! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Brain Test sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Test holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Test has 6.5K ratings behind it against 191, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 34% of Dumb Test!'s written reviews are positive against 42% of Brain Test's.
