# Brain Dump vs YellowAffirm

The clearest difference is rating: YellowAffirm at 5.0 against Brain Dump's 4.3. YellowAffirm also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Brain Dump's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Dump sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and YellowAffirm sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

YellowAffirm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Dump has 64 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Brain Dump's written reviews are positive against 100% of YellowAffirm's.
