# Brainrot vs Storey

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Storey at 100% against Brainrot's 18%. Storey also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Brainrot's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainrot sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Storey sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Storey 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 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Brainrot's written reviews are positive against 100% of Storey's.

Brainrot ships an update every 6 days, Storey every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
