Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rewire at Free against Brain's $39.99. Rewire also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Brain's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On rating, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
