# Brain Crush! vs Happy Printer

The clearest difference is rating: Happy Printer at 4.6 against Brain Crush!'s 3.9. Happy Printer also leads on ratings volume (92K vs 272) and chart position (#74 vs unranked). Brain Crush!'s advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 46%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Crush! sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Happy Printer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happy Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy Printer has 92K ratings behind it against 272, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Brain Crush!'s written reviews are positive against 46% of Happy Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Brain Crush! ships an update every 6 days, Happy Printer every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
