# 3D Brain vs Educreations Whiteboard

Educreations Whiteboard also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 146) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). 3D Brain's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.5).

Both are free to download. 3D Brain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Educreations Whiteboard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Educreations Whiteboard holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6.
