# Brain Builder vs Gopogo

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.

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.
