# Braindoku vs Magnetiles

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Magnetiles at 100% against Braindoku's 38%. Magnetiles also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Braindoku's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Braindoku sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Magnetiles sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magnetiles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Braindoku has 19K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Braindoku's written reviews are positive against 100% of Magnetiles's.
