Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Brain Builder at none against Gopogo's shown. Brain Builder also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 43%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Gopogo's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (34 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gopogo holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gopogo has 34 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Brain Builder's written reviews are positive against 43% of Gopogo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
