# Brainstorm Test vs Brain Riddle

The clearest difference is rating: Brainstorm Test at 4.7 against Brain Riddle's 3.6. Brainstorm Test also leads on ratings volume (8.4K vs 14) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). Brain Riddle's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 16%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainstorm Test sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Brain Riddle sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brainstorm Test holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainstorm Test has 8.4K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Brainstorm Test's written reviews are positive against 38% of Brain Riddle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Brainstorm Test ships an update monthly, Brain Riddle every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
