# Brainrot vs LikeMax

The clearest difference is monetization model: LikeMax at free with in-app purchases against Brainrot's subscription. LikeMax also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). Brainrot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (22K vs 2). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainrot sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and LikeMax sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LikeMax holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainrot has 22K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Brainrot ships an update every 6 days, LikeMax weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
