Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BN at 4.7 against enbrighten's 4.5. enbrighten's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1.9K) and review sentiment (27% vs 19%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: enbrighten has 11K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of enbrighten's written reviews are positive against 19% of BN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
enbrighten ships an update every 5 months, BN every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
