# Fight List vs Brainster

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Fight List at 47K against Brainster's 162. Fight List also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Brainster's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fight List sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Brainster sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brainster holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fight List has 47K ratings behind it against 162, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Fight List's written reviews are positive against 50% of Brainster's.

Fight List ships an update every 3 weeks, Brainster every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
