Steal a Brainrot Tier List (2026) — Best Brainrots Ranked
This Steal a Brainrot tier list ranks 27 brainrots by the only number the game actually pays you: income per second. S is $400M/s and up, A is $200M–$399M/s, B is $100M–$199M/s, and C covers the sub-$100M/s units most players genuinely own. Every figure was read from that brainrot's own community-wiki infobox on September 4, 2026, and the edit date of each page is on record.
BRAZILIAN SPYDER's tycoon ran a median of 95,095 concurrent players across 12 radar samples between September 1 and September 4, 2026, with a band of 69,825 to 153,957. Pulled live from the Roblox API at 14:00 UTC on September 4: 73,228,383,437 visits, 29,249,306 favourites, and a group sitting at 39,031,132 members. New to the game?

S Tier — Best Brainrots in Steal a Brainrot
S Tier is everything paying $400M/s or more. Five of the six are OG rarity, the band above Secret, and the wiki's own Red Carpet notes say an OG spawn is the only one announced globally through the Live Spawns panel by the cave entrance rather than just in your own server.
Spyder Elephant — $1B/s
The ceiling. It costs $1T in-game and generates $1B/s, but the wiki tags it non-indexable and lists its status as obtainable through resellers only, so it never walks the carpet on a normal day. Treat it as a trophy, not a target. Page last edited August 29, 2026.
Strawberry Elephant — $750M/s
This is the real best-in-slot, because you can actually get it. Strawberry Elephant is OG rarity, costs $750B, pays $750M/s, and arrived in Update 14. It spawns on the Red Carpet and has also been handed out through Steal a Brainrot codes. A YouTube clip published July 3, 2026 records a Rainbow Strawberry Elephant at 7.5B/s — exactly ten times the plain 750M, which is the Rainbow multiplier applied to income and a clean outside check on the base figure.
Meowl — $600M/s (disputed)
Meowl costs $650B. The wiki put its income at $600M/s when the page was edited on August 31, 2026; an independent May 2026 brainrot list still has it at $650M/s. We are publishing both rather than picking. Either way Meowl is the only unit in this tier whose price is not exactly a thousand times its income, so it is the worst payback in S Tier.
John Pork — $500M/s
Added in Update 49, John Pork costs $500B for $500M/s. Its wiki page lists three routes: the Red Carpet, codes, and whenever the dev adds it to Los Traders. Page last edited August 29, 2026.
Skibidi Toilet — $450M/s
Update 31's crossover unit, credited on the wiki to Alexey Gerasimov of the @DaFuq!?Boom! channel. It costs $450B and pays $450M/s. Two separate outside lists agree on the 450M figure, which is more corroboration than most brainrots get.
Griffin — $400M/s
The highest-income Secret in the game at $400M/s for $400B, from Update 41. The catch is real: Griffin comes out of the Divine Fuse Machine and the wiki marks it unobtainable. If you already own one, it out-earns every Secret below it by 25M a second.
One more sits in this band and we are flagging it rather than ranking it. Headless Horseman is OG, costs $600B, and is fused in the Witch Fuse — also unobtainable. Its income is disputed: the wiki says $600M/s as of its September 2, 2026 edit, while a May 2026 list says $575M/s.
A Tier — $200M to $399M/s
A Tier is where the machines take over from the carpet. Four of these five come out of a fuse or craft machine, and three of those machines have since been retired, which is why the wiki marks them unobtainable. Only Dragon Cannelloni still spawns.
Dragon Aquanini — $375M/s
A Summer Fuse product at $375B for $375M/s. The Summer Fuse was removed in Update 60 on August 1, 2026, so this one is a closed door. Page last edited August 8, 2026.
Hydra Dragon Cannelloni — $300M/s (nerfed from $350M/s)
Worth knowing about because half the lists online are stale on it. Its wiki page records $300M/s at $300B, formerly $350M/s at $350B. Both of the outside lists we checked, dated May 29 and June 19, 2026, still print the old 350M. If a tier list gives you 350M, it has not been touched since spring.
Signore Carapace — $275M/s
The clearest example of how violently this game rebalances. Signore Carapace shipped in Update 15 as a Legendary at $1.3K/s, was reworked to $105M/s, and now sits at $275M/s for $275B as a Secret. It comes from the Craft Machine and is currently unobtainable. Page last edited September 3, 2026.
Dragon Cannelloni — $250M/s
The most useful entry in A Tier, because it is still live. Dragon Cannelloni costs $250B and pays $250M/s, and its page lists three routes: buying it off the Red Carpet, limited stock added by the dev through codes, and rolling it from the RNG Machine. It has been buffed twice, from 100M to 200M to 250M. Its page also notes the dev leaked that 40,000 exist.
Arcadragon — $215M/s
An Arcadopus reskin from Update 46, buffed from $150M/s to $215M/s at $215B. You get it from physical DLC merchandise codes with a low chance, or by crafting it in the Cyber Craft Machine using one Strawberry Elephant — which is a genuinely bad trade, since you are burning a $750M/s unit for a $215M/s one.
Two more clear $200M/s and both are machine-locked: Digi Narwhal from the Cyber Craft Machine (Update 47) and La Supreme Combinasion from the Fuse Machine (Update 10). Both are marked unobtainable.
B Tier — $100M to $199M/s
This is the band that matters most, and it is the one every other tier list undersells. Every unit here is obtainable on the Red Carpet right now, and every one of them pays for itself faster than anything in S or A Tier.
Cerberus — $175M/s
From Update 33, $150B for $175M/s. That price-to-income ratio breaks the 1,000x pattern for the first time on the way down: Cerberus clears its own cost in roughly 857 seconds, about 14 minutes 17 seconds.
Capitano Moby — $160M/s
Added November 1, 2025 in Update 23. It costs $125B, pays $160M/s, and has two sources: the Red Carpet and the Fishing event. Payback is about 781 seconds.
Burguro And Fryuro — $150M/s
The value pick of the tier. $75B for $150M/s is a flat 500-second payback, twice as fast as anything in S Tier, and it is a plain Red Carpet spawn.
Pizza and Ranch — $130M/s
One of the newer Red Carpet Secrets, from Update 59 on July 25, 2026. $55B for $130M/s works out at roughly 423 seconds to break even. Its wiki page credits the design to a community member from the game's Discord.
Cash or Card — $100M/s
The best raw deal in the whole list. $40B buys $100M/s, a 400-second payback, meaning it earns back its own price two and a half times faster than a Strawberry Elephant does. If you are choosing what to spend a first big bank on, this is the answer.
C Tier — Under $100M/s, the Ones You Will Actually Own First
C Tier is not filler. These are the Secrets that carry a run from your first rebirth to your first real bank, and several of them are gated into rebirth requirements you cannot skip.
Garama and Madundung — $50M/s
The game's first Duo Brainrot, from Update 6. $10B for $50M/s is a 200-second payback, and its page lists more routes than almost anything else: the Red Carpet, the RNG Machine, admin spawns in lucky servers, the dev's own base, and trading.
La Grande Combinasion — $10M/s
Update 4's Secret costs $1B and pays $10M/s — a 100-second payback, the fastest on this page. It also drops from the Admin Lucky Block at a stated 0.5%, or 1 in 200. You need one to clear Rebirth 19, so it is not optional.
Graipuss Medussi — $1M/s
The Update 3 landmark. $250M for $1M/s, off the Red Carpet or the Fishing event. Its own wiki caption jokes that it somehow earns less than the brainrots required for the rebirth before it, which is fair.
La Vacca Saturno Saturnita — $325K/s
The first Secret most players ever hold. Update 1, $80M, $325K/s, from the Red Carpet or the RNG Machine. It is also the one the game's live code spawns onto the carpet — and it spawns it, it does not gift it, so you still pay the $80M.
Update 64 added four more that land in this tier. Puffino Builderino ($3.7B, $31M/s) and Gattino Hydrantino ($1.9B, $14.5M/s) come from the RNG Machine; Sir Mangus ($1.2B, $7.5M/s) and Gub ($900M, $5M/s) walk the Red Carpet. Both carpet units already appear in the wiki's extracted spawn-weight table, which is a decent sign the entries are real rather than datamined guesses.

How We Ranked These Brainrots
The sort is not opinion. Steal a Brainrot assigns every brainrot a fixed income per second and a fixed purchase price, and income per second is the primary sort key; the tier bands are just cut lines through that one column. Where a unit is unobtainable we say so in the same row rather than quietly dropping it, because a tier list that hides the ceiling is not much use.
Every figure came from the Steal a Brainrot Wiki, read page by page on September 4, 2026. That wiki is live, not a mirror: its Brainrots index was last edited September 3, 2026, and the individual pages we used carry edit stamps between July 5 and September 4, 2026. Where an outside list disagreed we published both numbers — Meowl and Headless Horseman are the two cases. Two independent brainrot lists dated May 29 and June 19, 2026 agreed with the wiki on Griffin, Dragon Cannelloni, Cerberus, Capitano Moby, Skibidi Toilet, Strawberry Elephant and Spyder Elephant, and disagreed only where the game has been rebalanced since.
Three traps are worth naming. First, rarity is not income: Griffin is a Secret that out-earns four OG units, and Signore Carapace was a Legendary earning $1.3K/s before it became a Secret earning $275M/s. Second, the wiki's Red Carpet page publishes extracted RoadWeight values — Noobini Pizzanini is 100, Dragon Cannelloni is 1e-15 — and states plainly that these are relative weights, not percentages or one-in-X chances. Sites that reprint Dragon Cannelloni as "1 in 5 quadrillion" have read the weight as a probability. Third, income is not value: trade prices track how many copies exist, not what a unit pays.
All numbers here are plain, unmutated income. Mutations multiply that figure and traits add on top of it, and the wiki gives the formula as brainrot value times mutation multiplier, plus traits. The full multiplier table and the game-pass prices live on our Steal a Brainrot money guide, so we are not repeating them here. The game itself sits at place 109983668079237, universe 7709344486 (Roblox page), and its roster grows every Saturday: Update 62 on August 15, Update 63 on August 22, and Update 64 on August 29, 2026, which is where four of the entries above came from.

Frequently Asked Questions
By income per second it is the Spyder Elephant at $1B/s, but the wiki files it as non-indexable and obtainable only through resellers, so almost nobody reaches it. The best brainrot you can actually buy off the Red Carpet is the Strawberry Elephant, an OG-rarity unit that costs $750B and pays $750M/s. Below that, John Pork pays $500M/s for $500B and Skibidi Toilet pays $450M/s for $450B. All three were checked against their own wiki pages on September 4, 2026.
Divide the purchase price by the income per second. Every brainrot from Arcadragon upward is pinned at exactly 1,000 seconds, or 16 minutes and 40 seconds, because the game sets their income at one thousandth of their cost. Cheaper Secrets are far better value: Cash or Card costs $40B and pays $100M/s, so it clears in 400 seconds, and La Grande Combinasion costs $1B against $10M/s, which is 100 seconds.
Yes. The wiki's Mutations page states that mutations modify a brainrot's income and appearance, that only one mutation can sit on a single brainrot, and that the formula is brainrot value multiplied by the mutation multiplier, with trait bonuses added afterwards. Rainbow and Divine share the same 10× value. Every income figure on this page is the plain, unmutated number.
The wiki publishes extracted RoadWeight values, and the four OG units sit lowest: Skibidi Toilet at 7e-20, John Pork at 5e-20, Meowl at 3e-20 and Strawberry Elephant at 1e-20, all four tagged as estimates because the OG weights moved into a server-side folder on September 6, 2025. Those are relative weights against Noobini Pizzanini's 100, not percentages and not one-in-X odds, so any site quoting them as a spawn chance has misread the source.
Yes, and the game tells you by name. The wiki's Stealing page notes you get an alert plus an alarm, colour-coded by rarity — green Common, blue Rare, purple Epic, yellow Legendary, red Mythic, rainbow Brainrot God, black-and-white Secret, black-and-yellow OG. The thief is slowed while carrying: walk speed drops from 34 to 20 and jump height from 7.2 to 4.32, and gears are disabled. Separately, a brainrot still walking the Red Carpet toward your base can be bought out from under you for 150% of its cost.
Weekly, on Saturdays. Update 62 landed August 15, 2026, Update 63 on August 22, and Update 64 on August 29, which added four brainrots — Gub, Sir Mangus, Gattino Hydrantino and Puffino Builderino — plus the Honey Bee Base and the Bee Admin Machine. On that cadence Update 65 falls on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Note that the Roblox API's updated stamp for this universe, 2026-09-01, is a rolling counter and is not evidence of a patch.
