# Brainster vs Fight List 2

The clearest difference is rating: Brainster at 4.6 against Fight List 2's 3.7. Brainster also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 27%). Fight List 2's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 162). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainster sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Fight List 2 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brainster holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fight List 2 has 1.9K ratings behind it against 162, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Brainster's written reviews are positive against 27% of Fight List 2's.

Brainster ships an update every 2 months, Fight List 2 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
