# Best Riddles & Brain Teasers! vs BookWatch

Best Riddles & Brain Teasers! also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). BookWatch's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Best Riddles & Brain Teasers! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BookWatch sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BookWatch holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2.
