Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Shatterbrain at Free against supertype's $1.99. Shatterbrain also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 74%). supertype's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On 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
Shatterbrain is free to download; supertype costs $1.99 up front. Shatterbrain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. supertype asks for nothing beyond the download.
supertype holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: supertype has 5.2K ratings behind it against 436, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Shatterbrain's written reviews are positive against 74% of supertype's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shatterbrain ships an update every 11 months, supertype every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
