# ChickFocus vs Brain Rescue

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChickFocus at 1K against Brain Rescue's 1. ChickFocus also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Brain Rescue's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChickFocus sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Brain Rescue sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Rescue holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChickFocus has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
