# Wisey vs BrainScroller

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BrainScroller at 63% against Wisey's 12%. BrainScroller also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.4) and ads (none vs shown). Wisey's advantage is ratings volume (260 vs 20). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wisey sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and BrainScroller sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BrainScroller holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wisey has 260 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of Wisey's written reviews are positive against 63% of BrainScroller's.

Wisey ships an update every 14 months, BrainScroller every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
