# Cargo vs WordBrain 2

The clearest difference is rating: WordBrain 2 at 4.3 against Cargo's 3.6. WordBrain 2 also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 27). Cargo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WordBrain 2 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Cargo asks for nothing beyond the download.

WordBrain 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordBrain 2 has 1.5K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Cargo's written reviews are positive against 71% of WordBrain 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cargo ships an update every 30 months, WordBrain 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
