Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MindPal at Free against Brain Training Games's $1.99. MindPal also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (86K vs 6). Brain Training Games's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
MindPal is free to download; Brain Training Games costs $1.99 up front. MindPal sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Brain Training Games asks for nothing beyond the download.
MindPal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MindPal has 86K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Brain Training Games's written reviews are positive against 80% of MindPal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brain Training Games ships an update every 4 months, MindPal every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
