# CogniFit vs WISC

The clearest difference is rating: CogniFit at 4.5 against WISC's 2.0. CogniFit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 2). WISC's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CogniFit sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WISC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CogniFit holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CogniFit has 1.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CogniFit ships an update weekly, WISC every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
