# Brain Training vs pahilo

The clearest difference is rating: pahilo at 5.0 against Brain Training's 4.2. pahilo also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Brain Training's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Training sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and pahilo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $144.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

pahilo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Training has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Brain Training ships an update every 3 weeks, pahilo every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
