Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Animal Sort at none against Brain Crush!'s 6. Animal Sort also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.9). Brain Crush!'s advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 50%) and ratings volume (278 vs 46). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Animal Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Crush! has 278 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Brain Crush!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Animal Sort'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, Animal Sort every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
