# Brilliant vs MuseFlow

The clearest difference is rating: Brilliant at 4.7 against MuseFlow's 4.0. Brilliant also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (33K vs 4). MuseFlow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brilliant sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and MuseFlow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brilliant holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brilliant has 33K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Brilliant's written reviews are positive against 50% of MuseFlow's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
