# iQ Teacher vs NeuroNation

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NeuroNation at 91% against iQ Teacher's 20%. NeuroNation also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 1). iQ Teacher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iQ Teacher sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and NeuroNation sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NeuroNation holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NeuroNation has 4.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
