Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Total Brain at free against My Vera's free with in-app purchases. Total Brain also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). My Vera's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
My Vera holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 912 and 773 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Total Brain's written reviews are positive against 38% of My Vera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
