# Brainblast vs AdmitRaven

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.

Both are free to download. Brainblast sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $149.00 per month and AdmitRaven sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
