# BrainPOP vs Quizlet

The clearest difference is ads: BrainPOP at none against Quizlet's shown. BrainPOP also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). Quizlet's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.1M vs 34K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BrainPOP sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Quizlet sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for BrainPOP against 4.8 for Quizlet. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quizlet has 1.1M ratings behind it against 34K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of BrainPOP's written reviews are positive against 61% of Quizlet's.

BrainPOP ships an update every 2 months, Quizlet weekly. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
