Brainier holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Skillsoft Learning App's written reviews are positive against 0% of Brainier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Skillsoft Learning App ships an update every 2 months, Brainier every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
