Brainwash is a mobile application particularly used for laundry purposes for students, and bachelors living in a hostel or a rented apartment. This mobile app follows a streamlined approach with step by step sequence to solve problems. 1. Washer and users can register with mobile number or email verification and login to their account with their official credentials. 2. This mobile app has the accessibility to switch roles between users and washer. 3. The user has to place pickup and drop-off locations on the mobile app that will be visible to the washer 4. The washer can accept the order of users i.e. 1 bag and he can also update the status whether the washer accepted the order or not. 5. Users can also create, remove and see the laundry status. 6. The washer can accept and delete orders on priorities and change the laundry status. 7. If the user provides own detergent for washing and dry cleaning then the payment will be decreased and the actual amount will be shown. 8. Brainwash uses the payment gateway of PayPal or Wallet. It is mandatory for users and washer to have an authentic bank account of PayPal or Wallet.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BrainWash at free against iAquaLink's free with in-app purchases. BrainWash also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). iAquaLink's advantage is ratings volume (101K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
