# Slitherlink Mastery vs Brainstorm Test

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Slitherlink Mastery at 80% against Brainstorm Test's 16%. Slitherlink Mastery also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Brainstorm Test's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 13) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slitherlink Mastery sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Brainstorm Test sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brainstorm Test holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainstorm Test has 8.4K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Slitherlink Mastery's written reviews are positive against 16% of Brainstorm Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Slitherlink Mastery ships an update weekly, Brainstorm Test every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
