Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Neuroscience at 4.9 against 3D Brain's 3.6. Neuroscience also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). 3D Brain's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (145 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 3D Brain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Neuroscience sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Neuroscience holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Brain has 145 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of 3D Brain's written reviews are positive against 50% of Neuroscience's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
3D Brain ships an update every 2 months, Neuroscience every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
