# Brain Boost vs PlotLuck

The clearest difference is rating: PlotLuck at 5.0 against Brain Boost's 4.6. Brain Boost's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Boost sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and PlotLuck sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PlotLuck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Boost has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Brain Boost ships an update every 2 weeks, PlotLuck monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
