Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tricky Challenge at 4.6 against Brain Crush!'s 3.9. Tricky Challenge also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 278). Brain Crush!'s advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 39%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). 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 Tricky Challenge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tricky Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tricky Challenge has 22K ratings behind it against 278, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Brain Crush!'s written reviews are positive against 39% of Tricky Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brain Crush! ships an update every 6 days, Tricky Challenge fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
