# Brainblast vs Brain Battle

The clearest difference is ads: Brain Battle at none against Brainblast's shown. Brain Battle also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 61%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Brainblast's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and chart position (#162 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainblast sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Brain Battle sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Brainblast against 4.6 for Brain Battle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainblast has 584 ratings behind it against 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Brainblast's written reviews are positive against 86% of Brain Battle's.
