# Hextrix vs Sand Bricks

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hextrix at none against Sand Bricks's 14. Hextrix also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Sand Bricks's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sand Bricks sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Hextrix asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hextrix holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sand Bricks has 5.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
