Both are free to download. N'Back sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Schulte table! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Schulte table! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Schulte table! has 338 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of N'Back's written reviews are positive against 42% of Schulte table!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
N'Back ships an update every 9 months, Schulte table! every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
