# BrainBloom vs MyHistory

The clearest difference is rating: BrainBloom at 4.8 against MyHistory's 4.3. BrainBloom also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 32%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). MyHistory's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BrainBloom sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and MyHistory sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BrainBloom holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BrainBloom has 1.6K ratings behind it against 244, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of BrainBloom's written reviews are positive against 32% of MyHistory's.

BrainBloom ships an update every 2 weeks, MyHistory every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
