# Thinger vs CyberBrick

The clearest difference is rating: Thinger at 4.6 against CyberBrick's 3.8. Thinger also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 11). CyberBrick's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thinger sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. CyberBrick asks for nothing beyond the download.

Thinger holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thinger has 1.3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Thinger's written reviews are positive against 38% of CyberBrick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Thinger ships an update every 5 days, CyberBrick every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
