# Breakout by CodeHS vs Break Bricks

The clearest difference is rating: Break Bricks at 4.4 against Breakout by CodeHS's 2.7. Break Bricks also leads on ratings volume (68K vs 19). Breakout by CodeHS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Break Bricks holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Break Bricks has 68K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Breakout by CodeHS's written reviews are positive against 17% of Break Bricks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
