# Suck It Up vs Bricky Boy

The clearest difference is ads: Suck It Up at none against Bricky Boy's shown. Suck It Up also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Bricky Boy's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (823 vs 121). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Suck It Up sells 9 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 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bricky Boy has 823 ratings behind it against 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Suck It Up'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.

Suck It Up ships an update every 3 days, Bricky Boy every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
