Collect discs and break bricks! See how far you can go without letting a brick hit the red line! It's harder than it looks... This brick breaker is simple, clean, aesthetic, and fun! I work hard to make sure my games are enjoyable and ethically monetized. Therefore, you will find no ads in my game, nor will you find any luck-based purchases, consumable purchases, or play limits. I hope you enjoy this game and compete with your family and friends to see who can get the highest score! Purchase the Deluxe Expansion to add new power-ups, board sizes, and an additional power-up storage slot during gameplay! It is a one-time purchase, and very worth it!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RA Tracker at every 2 weeks against Disc Brick's every 6 weeks. Disc Brick's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (468 vs 50). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Disc Brick sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and RA Tracker sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Disc Brick holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Disc Brick has 468 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Disc Brick's written reviews are positive against 85% of RA Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Disc Brick ships an update every 6 weeks, RA Tracker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
