# Brain Games vs One Brain

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brain Games at 91% against One Brain's 59%. Brain Games also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 297). One Brain's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Games sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and One Brain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Games holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Games has 8.5K ratings behind it against 297, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Brain Games's written reviews are positive against 59% of One Brain's.

Brain Games ships an update every 5 months, One Brain weekly. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
