Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AcuApp® Acupressure at 100% against Brook+'s 37%. AcuApp® Acupressure also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.5). Brook+'s advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 36 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Brook+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brook+ has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of AcuApp® Acupressure's written reviews are positive against 37% of Brook+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AcuApp® Acupressure ships an update every 36 months, Brook+ monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
