Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: IQ Test at 1.2K against Brain Challenge's 40. Brain Challenge's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IQ Test sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Brain Challenge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IQ Test holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IQ Test has 1.2K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of IQ Test's written reviews are positive against 22% of Brain Challenge's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IQ Test ships an update every 3 months, Brain Challenge every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
