Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Optics Trainer at 4.5 against Brain Balance's 3.5. Optics Trainer also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (305 vs 18). Brain Balance's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Optics Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Optics Trainer has 305 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Optics Trainer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Brain Balance's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Optics Trainer ships an update every 8 days, Brain Balance every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
