# IQ Test vs Brain Exercise Initiative

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brain Exercise Initiative at 100% against IQ Test's 35%. Brain Exercise Initiative also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 12). IQ Test's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 23). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IQ Test sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Brain Exercise Initiative asks for nothing beyond the download.

Brain Exercise Initiative holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IQ Test has 8K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of IQ Test's written reviews are positive against 100% of Brain Exercise Initiative's.
