# Magic Brick Wars vs Loop & Loot™

The clearest difference is monetization model: Loop & Loot™ at free with in-app purchases against Magic Brick Wars's subscription. Loop & Loot™ also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 56%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Magic Brick Wars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 76). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Brick Wars sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Loop & Loot™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Brick Wars has 4.8K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two.
