The call

The clearest difference is rating: Huge Bricks at 4.5 against Breakout by CodeHS's 2.7. Huge Bricks also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 19). Breakout by CodeHS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Huge Bricks holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Huge Bricks has 3.5K 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 21% of Huge Bricks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
