# Brain It On! vs Brain Test

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Brain Test at 1.5M against Brain It On!'s 5.1K. Brain Test also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). Brain It On!'s advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 58%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain It On! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Brain Test sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Test holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Test has 1.5M ratings behind it against 5.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Brain It On!'s written reviews are positive against 58% of Brain Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Brain It On! ships an update every 3 weeks, Brain Test monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
