# Brain Dump vs Seven

The clearest difference is rating: Seven at 5.0 against Brain Dump's 4.3. Seven also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Brain Dump's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (64 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Seven sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Seven 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 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
