Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Birdbrain at 5.0 against IQ Test's 4.5. Birdbrain also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). IQ Test's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
