# Skoolr vs BrainBlinks

The clearest difference is ads: Skoolr at none against BrainBlinks's shown. Skoolr also leads on ratings volume (413 vs 2). BrainBlinks's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skoolr sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and BrainBlinks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
