# Brainwave3D vs Frequency Generator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brainwave3D at 100% against Frequency Generator's 47%. Brainwave3D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). Frequency Generator's advantage is ratings volume (474 vs 5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainwave3D sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Frequency Generator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brainwave3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frequency Generator has 474 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Brainwave3D's written reviews are positive against 47% of Frequency Generator's.

Brainwave3D ships an update monthly, Frequency Generator every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
