Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YouBrush at none against Brushout's 3. YouBrush also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.4 vs 17.6). Brushout's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 6). On price, ads and device support 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. Brushout sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. YouBrush asks for nothing beyond the download.
YouBrush holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brushout has 4.8K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Brushout's written reviews are positive against 71% of YouBrush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brushout ships an update every 2 weeks, YouBrush every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
