# The Stroop Effect vs MGM+

The clearest difference is price: MGM+ at Free against The Stroop Effect's $0.99. MGM+ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). The Stroop Effect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and review sentiment (67% vs 36%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

MGM+ is free to download; The Stroop Effect costs $0.99 up front. MGM+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. The Stroop Effect asks for nothing beyond the download.

MGM+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MGM+ has 88K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of The Stroop Effect's written reviews are positive against 36% of MGM+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Stroop Effect ships an update every 5 months, MGM+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
