# Brain Test vs Help Me

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brain Test at 58% against Help Me's 18%. Brain Test also leads on ratings volume (1.5M vs 13K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Help Me's advantage is iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Test sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Help Me sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Test holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Test has 1.5M ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Brain Test's written reviews are positive against 18% of Help Me's.
