Steal a Brainrot Values & Prices
Steal a Brainrot has 520 brainrots with costs ranging from $25 (Noobini Pizzanini) to $1T (Spyder Elephant). The best-value brainrot at each rarity is the one with the lowest payback time — cost divided by income per second. Common brainrots pay back in as little as 25 seconds, while OG brainrots take about 17–18 minutes. Mutations like Phantom (12×) multiply income without changing cost, cutting payback time proportionally.

This page focuses on cost-efficiency — which brainrots give you the best return on investment. Costs and income/s come from the in-game shop, mirrored by the Fandom wiki. Payback time (cost ÷ income/s) is computed from that data. Trade values are NOT included — they are demand-driven and change constantly. For raw income rankings, see the tier list.
Price Ranges by Rarity
How costs, income, and payback time scale across all 8 rarity tiers. Higher rarities cost more and earn more, but payback times also climb — OG paybacks run about 17–18 minutes versus as little as 25 seconds for the best Common.
| Rarity | Count | Cost Range | Income Range | Payback |

How Payback Time Works
Every brainrot has a payback time: how many seconds of income it takes to earn back what you paid. The formula is simple:
A brainrot that costs $100B and earns $100M/s has a payback of 1,000 seconds (~16.7 minutes). After that, every dollar it earns is pure profit. When choosing between two brainrots of the same rarity, the one with the lower payback time is the better investment.
That said, higher-rarity brainrots are almost always worth the longer payback. A Secret brainrot earning 100M/s with a 10-minute payback will outpace a Common earning 13/s with a 2-minute payback within seconds of breaking even. Use payback time to compare within a rarity tier, not across them.

How Mutations Change Value
Mutations multiply income without changing cost — they are effectively free value. A mutation on an expensive brainrot is worth far more in absolute terms than the same mutation on a cheap one. The income formula is:
Mutations divide payback time proportionally. A brainrot with a 1,000-second payback and a Phantom mutation (12×) effectively pays back in 83 seconds.

Stealing Economics
When a brainrot is walking toward another player's base, you can buy it for 150% of its base cost. This "steal premium" is the core economy of the game — and understanding it matters for high-value brainrots.
When Stealing Is Worth It
Stealing a rare brainrot (Brainrot God, Secret, OG) at 150% cost is almost always worth it because these brainrots spawn infrequently on the Red Carpet. Paying 50% extra for a Meowl ($975B steal cost vs $650B shop) is still better than waiting hours for another OG spawn.
Protecting Your Brainrots
Other players can also steal your brainrots at 150% cost while they walk to your base. Higher-floor base slots (the 2nd floor unlocks at Rebirth 2, the 3rd at Rebirth 10) are harder to reach. Per the wiki, a thief's speed drops ~41% and jump height ~40% while carrying a stolen brainrot, making escape harder.
| Example Brainrot | Shop Cost | Steal Cost (150%) | Extra Paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noobini Pizzanini | $25 | $37.5 | +$12.5 |
| Brr Brr Patapim | $15.0K | $22.5K | +$7.5K |
| Appelini | $69.00M | $103.50M | +$34.50M |
| Dragon Aquanini | $375.00B | $562.50B | +$187.50B |
| Meowl | $650.00B | $975.00B | +$325.00B |
