# Brainstorm vs Break Brain

The clearest difference is rating: Break Brain at 5.0 against Brainstorm's 4.8. Brainstorm's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainstorm sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Break Brain sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Break Brain holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainstorm has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on July 23, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
