Braindance is a buffer-glitch effect for iOS. Feed it audio and cut, stutter, repitch and mangle it in real time. SEQUENCE Build glitch patterns on a step sequencer with gate, repeat, reverse and pan lanes. Fill rhythms with Euclidean patterns, set step size and length, and capture what you just played onto the history tape. EFFECTS Shape the result with bitcrush, flanger, delay and reverb, then a master filter with switchable SVF, ladder, comb and resonator modes. Automate any parameter with per-slot shapes and depth over a chosen number of bars. PERFORM Play the effect live. Morph between settings on an XY pad, hold macros like Fire, History, Forget and Freeze, and fire launch pads including Trance Gate, Half-Time, Tresillo, IDM Chop, Stutter, Machine Gun, Glitch Walk, Reverse Rain, Ping Pong, Repitch, Dub Siren and Clicks + Cuts. AUv3 Run Braindance as an Audio Unit inside your host to process tracks in place, or play it standalone. A MIDI variant is included for triggering glitches from a keyboard or sequencer. Three themes: Ark, Candy and Clarity.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SNB Gigs at Free against Braindance's $4.99. Braindance's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
