BrainDojo Free vs Plus: Which Plan Is Right for You?

BrainDojo offers two membership tiers: BrainDojo Free and BrainDojo Plus. Both are designed around the same goal of helping you build a daily brain-training habit in as little as 10 seconds a day. In this post I will compare the two plans honestly, so you can decide which one fits how you actually train.

What You Get with BrainDojo Free

The free plan includes:

• One “Today’s Training” exercise per day. A quick daily exercise you can complete right away.
• Access to “Try for free”. A selection of exercises available at no cost.
• User support. Available with a BrainDojo account. Registration is not required to use the app itself.

That is a genuinely usable starting point. You can complete your daily exercise, sample different exercise types through “Try for free”, and build the daily habit without paying anything. If you are brand new to the app, our guide Getting Started with BrainDojo walks through those first steps.

What You Get with BrainDojo Plus

BrainDojo Plus includes everything in the Free plan, and adds:

• All neuroscience-based exercises. The full training library, including handwriting, calculation, and reading aloud games.
• Access to new exercises. New content and features are developed continuously and released in updates.
• Favorites. Save the games you love by long-pressing a content icon, and long-press again to remove them.
• Today’s Training settings. Customize your daily session.
• Opportunities to test new content. Try new features and content early.

Who Is Free Right For?

BrainDojo Free suits you if:

• You are just starting out and want to see whether daily brain training fits your life.
• One quick Today’s Training exercise a day is all you are looking for right now.
• You want to sample the exercise styles through “Try for free” before committing.

There is no time limit on the free plan and no pressure to upgrade. Building the habit first is a perfectly good strategy.

Who Is Plus Right For?

BrainDojo Plus suits you if:

• You train every day and want the whole exercise library to keep things fresh.
• You have found favorite games and want to save them for quick access.
• You want Today’s Training tailored to you through its settings.
• You enjoy variety and want new exercises as they arrive, plus the chance to test new content early.

My honest summary: Free is enough to build the habit, and Plus makes sense once the habit is real.

Why a Subscription, and Why No Ads?

BrainDojo is designed to be a safe and enjoyable app for users of all ages, from young children to the elderly. To keep the experience comfortable and free of distractions, the app does not use ads at all. A subscription model is what makes that possible. It directly supports continuous content updates and improvements instead of relying on advertising. You can read more in the BrainDojo Help Center.

How to Decide

My honest recommendation:

1. Start with Free. Download the app and make Today’s Training a daily routine. Use the Stamp Calendar and the Brain Meter to stay consistent. See How to Use the Brain Meter in BrainDojo for how they work together.
2. Notice when you want more. If you keep wishing for more variety, want to save favorites, or want to customize Today’s Training, that is your signal.
3. Upgrade when it feels natural. Plus simply removes the limits from a habit you have already built.

For current pricing, please check the in-app purchase screen. You can also learn more about the app on the BrainDojo product page.

Whichever plan you choose, the most important step is the first session. Start with the free plan and see how a 10-second daily habit feels. BrainDojo is on the App Store.
