Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Dots Tails sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Brain Code sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Brain Code holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Code has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Dots Tails's written reviews are positive against 77% of Brain Code's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dots Tails ships an update every 3 months, Brain Code monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
