Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Word Association! at 4.6 against Brain Test's 4.1. Word Association! also leads on ratings volume (8.2K vs 71) and review sentiment (90% vs 72%). Brain Test's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
