# CogniFit vs WISC

The clearest difference is price: CogniFit at Free against WISC's $9.99. CogniFit also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 2). WISC's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CogniFit is free to download; WISC costs $9.99 up front. 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 3.0. 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. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of CogniFit's written reviews are positive against 50% of WISC's.

CogniFit ships an update weekly, WISC every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
