# Trophy vs Brame: Marketing Campaigns or Product Engagement?

Looking for a **Brame alternative**? Know what you're comparing first. Brame and Trophy both say "gamification," but they solve different problems and are different platforms.

Brame is a marketing tool—spin wheels, scratch cards, quizzes for campaigns. Trophy is product infrastructure—streaks, achievements, leaderboards for in-app engagement.

One drives leads. The other drives retention.

## Why Teams Choose Each

**Brame's problem:** Marketing attention is shot.

-   300+ ads daily → 90% banner blindness
-   3× higher acquisition costs vs 10 years ago
-   Two seconds to lose attention

**Brame's solution:** Interactive games that break through. Spin wheels and scratch cards convert.

**Trophy's problem:** Apps lose users after day one.

-   Download, try once, gone
-   No reason to return daily
-   Building engagement takes months

**Trophy's solution:** Gamification features like streaks, leaderboards, XP and achievements out of the box.
