# Brain Games vs Buttons Reflex Speed Challenge

The clearest difference is update cadence: Brain Games at fortnightly against Buttons Reflex Speed Challenge's every 5 months. Brain Games also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 8) and review sentiment (84% vs 67%). Buttons Reflex Speed Challenge's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7).

Both are free to download. Brain Games sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Buttons Reflex Speed Challenge sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Buttons Reflex Speed Challenge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
