# Train your brain vs Impulse peak

The clearest difference is ads: Impulse peak at none against Train your brain's shown. Impulse peak also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Train your brain's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 9) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Train your brain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Impulse peak sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Train your brain holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train your brain has 5.5K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Train your brain's written reviews are positive against 80% of Impulse peak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Train your brain ships an update every 3 months, Impulse peak every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
