# 1 Meter vs Bricky Boy

The clearest difference is rating: Bricky Boy at 4.7 against 1 Meter's 3.9. Bricky Boy also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 28 months) and ratings volume (881 vs 87). 1 Meter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1 Meter sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Bricky Boy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bricky Boy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bricky Boy has 881 ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of 1 Meter's written reviews are positive against 68% of Bricky Boy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

1 Meter ships an update every 28 months, Bricky Boy every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
