# Peak vs NeuroNation

Peak and NeuroNation both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of NeuroNation's written reviews are positive against 63% of Peak's. Peak's advantage is ratings volume (146K vs 4.5K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peak sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Peak against 4.7 for NeuroNation. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peak has 146K ratings behind it against 4.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Peak's written reviews are positive against 91% of NeuroNation's.

Peak ships an update fortnightly, NeuroNation every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
