Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Binaural Beats at 4.6 against NeuroHack's 4.0. Binaural Beats also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (124 vs 4). NeuroHack's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Binaural Beats holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Binaural Beats has 124 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Binaural Beats's written reviews are positive against 100% of NeuroHack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Binaural Beats ships an update every 2 months, NeuroHack every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
