# B1 vs Brain Games

The clearest difference is rating: Brain Games at 5.0 against B1's 4.3. Brain Games also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 24 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). B1's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Games sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. B1 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Brain Games holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: B1 has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
