Elite college counseling costs thousands. We built a better way. We built Raven for students who deserve the same advantage as everyone else — without the price tag. It's the first app that turns the entire college application process into a structured, engaging daily game, so you actually stay on track and submit your best work before the deadline. Raven starts by learning your goals, academic profile, and target schools. From there, it builds a fully personalized lesson plan and schedules daily bite-sized lessons to keep the process manageable from start to finish — no stress, no last-minute scramble. Everything in one place — A custom lesson plan built around your unique story and school list — College matching and wishlist refinement based on real fit — Scholarship discovery and eligibility guidance — Essay coaching that helps students find and communicate their authentic story, strengths, and experiences — Direct access to a network of real college students so you can get insider advice from someone who's been in your shoes We know college apps can be daunting, you don't have to apply alone. We'll help you every step of the way, and make it fun. Raven includes daily notifications, accountability measures to replace mindless scrolling with meaningful progress, and the SafetyNest — your support system of friends or family members to be notified if you fall behind, so the people who care most can step in and keep you on track. The whole process. One app. AdmitRaven is not affiliated with or endorsed by any college or university. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AdmitRaven at 100% against Brainblast's 61%. AdmitRaven also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Brainblast's advantage is ratings volume (586 vs 19) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
