# BrainLag vs Paper

The clearest difference is update cadence: Paper at weekly against BrainLag's every 2 months. BrainLag's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BrainLag sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Paper sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BrainLag ships an update every 2 months, Paper weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
