# Brainly vs Homework AI

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Brainly at 284K against Homework AI's 4.9K. Brainly also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). Homework AI's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainly sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month and Homework AI sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Brainly against 4.8 for Homework AI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainly has 284K ratings behind it against 4.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Brainly's written reviews are positive against 63% of Homework AI's.

Brainly ships an update weekly, Homework AI every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
