Both are free to download. BrainPOP sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Superstar Teacher asks for nothing beyond the download.
BrainPOP holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BrainPOP has 34K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of BrainPOP's written reviews are positive against 50% of Superstar Teacher's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
